Protestors attack Hillary Clinton’s convoy with eggs and rocks
A convoy carrying the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was pelted with eggs and rocks by a swarm of protestors in the Philippines, the Daily Mail says.
Around 100 members of the League of Filipino Students (LFS) stormed past police and threw red paint and eggs on vehicles in Clinton’s motorcade on Wednesday morning in Manila, the local Aksyon news service reported.
The motorcade was driving away from the Malacanang Palace, where the 64-year-old had met with President Benigno Aquino III, the source reported.
The main body of the convoy turned around and took another route, while police and heavily armed presidential security troops cleared the protesters, according to Australia’s Sky News.
The protesters attempting to block the convoy and kick the vehicles oppose a 12-year-old voluntary forces agreement between the U.S. and the Philippines.
Clinton said the protest was a sign that 'people are unafraid to express themselves' in the Philippines, Sky News reported.
