Trouble started in the Manila protest when unidentified young men set on fire several tires in front of a shipping container used by authorities as a blockage.

Bottle, paint, rocks were thrown at the cops who were forced to use their riot shields to protect themselves from the flying debris.

Hundreds of individuals were arrested during the protest.

According to the Department of Health, a man passed away due to stabbing after the rally.

Meanwhile, the PNP said it is now preparing for the November 30 protest action against corruption. —AOL, GMA Integrated News
