President Rodrigo Duterte in his latest signed proclamation warned September 21 protesters to keep an eye on infiltrators meant to provoke law enforcers.

"I urge all protesters to act within the bounds of the law, maintain a peaceful conduct of rallies, marches and demonstrations, be vigilant of possible infiltrators who may instigate violence in an effort to provoke the police and other law enforcement authorities, and avoid causing any undue inconvenience to their fellow citizens," Proclamation No. 319 read.
