Crowds at the Luneta Park continue to gather for various activities, spreading across different parts of Manila, including Financial Road, Maria Orosa Street, and Liwasang Bonifacio.

According to the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO), using drone surveillance and geographic information system (GIS) technology, the estimated number of attendees in Luneta is approximately 1,600, as of 10 a.m.

The Manila Police District (MPD), based on visual estimation, reports a higher estimate of 2,500 individuals, reflecting differences in crowd-counting methods.

The MPD later updated its estimate at 10:30 a.m., saying the crowd had swelled to around 3,000 as more protesters continued to arrive for various activities.

Marco, 21, a college student, said he went with his classmates: "Natutuwa kami makita yung dami ng tao. Kaya kahit mainit at matao, andito rin kami para ipakita yung paninindigan laban sa korapsyon at katiwalian (We’re happy to see so many people here. So even though it’s hot and crowded, we’re also here to show our stand against corruption and wrongdoing)."

Another protester, Mae, 31, said she left her children at home in Valenzuela to join the gathering: "May anak akong naiwan sa bahay sa Valenzuela para makadalo. Sana magkaroon ng pagbabago pagkatapos ng mga panawagan ng tao," (I left a child at home in Valenzuela to be able to attend. I hope there will be a change after the people’s calls)."

Meanwhile, to ensure the safety and well-being of the protesters, 13 MDRRMO ambulances and four Red Cross ambulances have been strategically deployed throughout the area.

Key locations covered for emergency response include Mendiola CEU, Round Table, Katigbak Ninoy Aquino Movement, US Embassy Service Road, Museong Pambata, Postal Bank, Mendiola DSWD, Kartilya, DBM, and Maria Orosa Jollibee, to provide rapid medical assistance in case of emergencies and maintain crowd safety across multiple entry and congregation points.
