STORYLINE:
Philippine police have arrested 17 people after a chaotic incident near the presidential palace in Manila.
On Sunday, some individuals set fire to tires and threw rocks at riot police.
This incident appeared unrelated to two large, peaceful anti-corruption protests happening elsewhere in the city.
The brief but chaotic incident did not involve the thousands of protesters who joined two large, peaceful anti-corruption demonstrations that took place elsewhere in the capital.
The violence prompted a security lockdown in the nearby Malacanang presidential palace, where access roads were blocked by security forces.
It was not immediately clear if those arrested by police had also joined the peaceful protests where some 18,000 people rallied in a nearby national park in Manila and at a democracy shrine along the main EDSA national highway.
Police said in a statement after making the arrests that the situation was “contained” but warned that violence and vandalism would not be tolerated.
The thousands of peaceful protesters took to the streets to express their outrage over a corruption scandal involving lawmakers, officials and businesspeople who allegedly pocketed huge kickbacks from flood-control projects in the poverty-stricken and storm-prone Southeast Asian country.
