They belong to the Coalition Against Federalism in the Philippines and Kilusang Kontra Tsina.

According to Rey Abad of Kilusang Kontra Tsina, the protest action is part of their group's observance of the anniversary of People Power Revolution.

February 22 was the first day of the said revolution in 1986 which led to the ouster of then President Ferdinand Marcos.

Abad also said they are calling for Duterte's ouster for giving much leeway to China and for the increasing number of extrajudicial killings during his administration.

The protesters will also hold a prayer vigil at the site. —KG, GMA News
