Some were seen splashing black paint across a poster of Mr. Trump which branded him a 'fascist'.


Others held signs reading 'no to Balikatan' - the annual US-Philippines military exercises.


The protests were mostly peaceful but violent scuffles broke out as police blocked demonstrators from getting to the US embassy.


It came as Donald Trump met Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte for the first time.


Their meeting at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Vietnam on Saturday was 'short but was warm and cordial,' said Duterte's spokesman, Harry Roque.

'The Trump of the East'



Rodrigo Duterte, like Trump, is a 'say it like it is' president.


He called Barack Obama a' son of a whore 'and Philip Goldberg, then US envoy to the Philippines, a' faggot '.


So far he has not insulted Trump - the two actually had a' friendly 'phone-call after The Donald was elected.


Truth is under pressure from Congress to criticise Duterte's war on drugs in which thousands have been executed or imprisoned without trial - but he previously said Duterte is doing 'an unbelievable job on drugs'.


Duterte said if any leader tried to intervene in his drug war he would tell them: 'Lay off. That is not your business. That is my business. '




'The leaders were also pleased to meet each other in person,' he said. Trump told Duterte 'see you tomorrow.'


Trumps head to Manila on Sunday for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit on the last leg of his 12-day Asian trip.


Duterte - sometimes described 'Trump of the East 'because of his brash and mercurial style -


More than 3,900 Filipinos have been killed in what the police call self-defense in Duterte's war on drugs. Critics say executions are taking place with zero accountability, allegations the police reject.


But Trump, who has been criticized at home for neglecting rights issues in dealings abroad, in May praised Duterte for doing an 'unbelievable job on the drug problem '.


Trump and Duterte would likely discuss during their bilateral talks, Sung Kim, US ambassador to Manila, had said last month.
