This demonstration allows residents to voice concerns about federal policies and recent actions by ICE in a positive and peaceful way. Participants are encouraged to bring signs or banners, stay hydrated, and dress warmly for the outdoor event.

The eight-member P-pop group from Star Music Philippines has become a genuine phenomenon — not just in Manila, but ...
