President Obama faced protests over the role of the U.S. military as he arrived in the Philippines for the APEC summit. His visit comes as the Philippines Supreme Court considers a constitutional challenge to a military deal that would grant U.S. troops broad access to military bases in the Philippines. Diego Torres was among the activists who gathered to oppose Obama’s arrival in Manila.

Diego Torres: “Today, Obama will arrive in the Philippines, and this is our welcome for him—a protest that rejects his presence because we do not want the leader of the United States, the chief architect of aggression and cruelty toward many nations around the world, to land in the Philippines.”
