Protesters at an Iglesia ni Cristo (INC)-led rally in Manila vow to remain at Liwasang Bonifacio for “as long as it takes,” indicating the demonstration may extend beyond the weekend. Batangas 1st District Rep. Leandro Leviste, who joins the protesters, says they are preparing to camp at the site and will continue the action until their demands are addressed. In statements to reporters, Leviste suggests the demands cannot be achieved immediately, which he says is why the gathering is expected to last longer than a few days. The coverage also notes that demonstrators travel from Batangas to attend the rally, and their continued presence at the designated public space is part of their plan. The reports present a consistent message across outlets: the protest is not framed as a short event and organizers and participants are preparing for an extended stay in Manila while awaiting resolution of their demands.
