[Philippines] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Students protested along United Nations Avenue in Manila on April 2, 2025, opposing fare increases for Light Rail Transit Line 1. The demonstration was characterized as peaceful with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether transit disruptions spread beyond the immediate protest area.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of protests to other transit lines or transportation hubs in Manila that could affect cargo movement
• Watch for escalation that might disrupt broader urban logistics in the National Capital Region
