The Philippine National Police will file charges against a group of protesters who were able to march toward the venues for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ Meeting, the PNP spokesman, Chief Supt. Wilben Mayor, said on Thursday.

“Some of our policemen were injured despite their adherence to the maximum tolerance policy and they were still provoked. ([hese] people caused injuries and harm to our people. Definitely, it is just right to file legal charges against them,” he told reporters during a news briefing at the International Media Center at the World Trade Center in Pasay City (Metro Manila).
