According to a report by RH Val Gonzales, the groups denounced what they described as U.S. interference in Philippine affairs, as well as the impact of American policies and actions on the livelihood of Filipinos and the country's economy.
Among their concerns were the war involving Iran and the proposed establishment of the Pax Silica project in Tarlac, which they said could further affect the Philippines.
Meanwhile, more than 100 youth advocates staged a “wig protest” outside Trump Tower in Poblacion, Makati City, to denounce Trump's policies ahead of his expected arrival for the regional summit.
