Philippines: Marcos Delivers National Address Amid Protests in Manila | Firstpost Live

Two bomb scares, one political address, and a capital city on high alert. A homemade bomb exploded outside the Philippine Department of Justice in Manila just after midnight on July 27, hours before President Ferdinand Marcos Jr's State of the Nation Address. Later, authorities discovered a second suspected explosive device near the Philippine Senate and safely secured it. Police are investigating whether the two incidents are connected, while security was tightened across the Congress complex. The developments came amid protests, the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, and growing political tensions fuelled by an alleged corruption scandal, placing the country's security and political climate under renewed scrutiny. The video decodes the political instability gradually gripping the nation. Joshua Barnes tells you more.
