However, it noted that actual closing and opening of affected roads will depend on the situation.
Motorists are advised to take the following routes:
The Philippine National Police (PNP) said it is prepared for the event, deploying 15,000 personnel across Metro Manila to ensure public safety during the mass mobilizations against corruption.
Police Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr., acting PNP chief, said the cops will cover major protest sites for the “Baha sa Luneta 2.0” in Manila and the “Trillion Peso March” at the People Power Monument in Quezon City.
Nartatez stressed that the deployment is intended to ensure rapid response to emergencies and uphold law and order, not to intimidate protesters.
“The deployment is not about intimidation, it's about readiness. We expect a large number of crowds in multiple activity areas so our personnel on the ground should be quick in responding to emergencies and even any violation of the law,” he said.
“Let me be clear that law enforcement presence does not mean aggressive action. The order for maximum tolerance still remains,” he added.
The protests are fueled by revelations of alleged corruption in government flood control projects.
Organizers of the Baha sa Luneta, Trillion Peso March, and other similar movements have framed the November 30 rallies as a demand for stricter oversight of government projects and the prosecution of those allegedly responsible for corruption.
The protests will coincide with the 162nd birth anniversary of national hero Andres Bonifacio.
