Much like during Duterte’s first SONA, the protesters carried placards and murals instead of effigies that are usually burned in a symbolic manner. This time however, they were stopped by members of the Philippine National Police from reaching Batasan Pambansa, in stark contrast to the SONA 5 years ago where protesters were allowed to march all the way to the complex.
