MANILA, Philippines — Divisoria street vendors are poised to stage a protest against the new Manila City government, which recent clearing operations supposedly deprived them and their families of income. According to DVA, they have requested a meeting with Manila Mayor Isko Moreno after the flag ceremony. Moreno previously allowed vendors to sell along streets of Divisoria on the condition that their stalls would not obstruct pedestrians and motorists from passing through.
