Protesters clashed with police near the U.S. Embassy in Manila on Friday during Labor Day protests.
The confrontation occurred after a large crowd marched through the capital, calling for peace, higher wages, and improved working conditions, as many workers continue to grapple with rising energy costs and declining purchasing power linked to the Iran war.
Protesters carried banners and chanted slogans urging the government to increase wages, reduce taxes, and commit to preventing further oil price hikes.
