Pro-, anti-Duterte protests rock Philippines

Thousands of people in the Philippines attended a day of protest over President Rodrigo Duterte’s controversial law-and-order policies.

Opponents criticised Duterte’s open threat to reinstate martial law and his war on drugs that has killed thousands.

Demonstrations were held outside the presidential palace in Manila, as well as universities and military headquarters.

The protests come as Duterte’s own son Paolo is facing allegations of drug trafficking.

And the president has vowed he would approve Paolo’s killing if the claims are true.
