MANILA, Philippines — The Manila city government has issued several road closures in anticipation of the third day of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) rally at Liwasang Bonifacio.
In a Facebook post, the Manila Public Information Office said the road closures will start at 4:00 a.m. onwards, covering the stretch of C.M. Recto Avenue from Nicanor Reyes Street to Mendiola Street, Legarda Street from Figueras Street to San Rafael Street, Magallanes Drive from Jones Bridge to MacArthur Bridge, the entire Ayala Bridge, and the eastbound lane of Ayala Boulevard from San Marcelino Street to Romualdez Street.
The advisory came after heavy traffic was observed during the first two days of the protest held in EDSA, prompting the city government to issue the road closures and cancel classes.
