While most demonstrators marched peacefully, the incident at Ayala Bridge highlighted simmering anger and frustrations that boiled over into clashes.
Authorities said the PNP exercised maximum tolerance despite the aggression, stressing their mandate to maintain order and protect both protesters and bystanders.
No major injuries were reported, though tensions prompted additional reinforcements in nearby areas.
Organizers of the rally condemned the violence, urging participants to remain disciplined and focused on the core message of the movement: to hold officials accountable and push for genuine reform.
The September 21 protest has become an annual reminder of the nation’s struggles against dictatorship and corruption.
This year’s mobilization, however, underscored both the passion of the people’s demands and the urgent need for peaceful avenues of change.
