Philippines looking like next powder keg to blow in Asia
Protesters flood Manila’s streets to denounce corruption and elite privilege, echoing unrest that recently shook Indonesia and Nepal

MANILA – Tens of thousands of fed-up Filipinos took to various points in Manila on Sunday (September 21) for a day-long protest against alleged massive corruption tied to anomalous infrastructure projects that have led to a shakeup in Congress amid widespread calls for reforms.

Angry protesters, many garbed symbolically in black, torched a steel container van that police used to block a bridge leading to the presidential Malacañang Palace compound, while hurling bottles and rocks towards the police.
 
Protesters, mostly youths, engaged police in a violent cat-and-mouse game near the presidential palace that lasted until 8 pm. By day’s end, police said 49 people – 36 adults and 13 minors – were arrested for “violent behavior, including stone-throwing and acts of arson.” At least 70 police officials were injured.

Acting national police chief Lieutenant General Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr said: “Our police units worked hard to keep everyone safe today. While there were some isolated incidents, including a trailer truck set on fire at Ayala corner Romualdez by a few unruly protesters, most rallies went on peacefully because many participants cooperated with the authorities.”

They are ripe for a Chi-com take over.

Why fight the Philippines for access to the South China Sea when you could just take them over using a puppet government?

The take over risk is from the moslems within.

That's my first guess, and the Chinese haven't exactly been good to the Moslems in China.

The muslims' unrest will kick the door open for the Chi-coms.

Communists are adept at exploiting civil unrest to their advantage.  Let both sides kill each other, then just walk in the front door.

My mom’s caretakers are Pilipino, and when we talk about their home they are concerned about the Chicom’s intrusion into their fishing areas, they are more concerned with the moslems and their home grown communists.

Yes, the woman causing the crowd to become violent should be deported.  Anyone here on a student visa has zero rights to cause riots.  Deport them immediately.

I believe it. The Moslems are a threat to all Asians.
