The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) announces that its protest continues on Thursday, July 2, now at Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila after the Quezon City government revokes its permit extension for an assembly in the EDSA–White Plains area. According to reports, the move follows the withdrawal of the earlier approval by the Quezon City Department of Public Order and Safety (DPOS), which had allowed the group to continue near the People Power monument. Organizers say they proceed to a location where they can gather without needing a permit. In earlier days, the INC held a surprise rally along EDSA and White Plains Avenue on Tuesday without a permit and then was allowed to continue the assembly the next day. The DPOS cites concerns related to severe traffic disruption caused by the earlier surprise rally. Manila city officials state that no permit is required for gatherings at Liwasang Bonifacio because it is a designated Freedom Park. Multiple outlets report the rally reaches its third day as it shifts from EDSA in Quezon City to Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila.
