MANILA - Thousands of members of a powerful Philippine religious sect rallied in Manila on Tuesday, snarling traffic as they protested against the expected arrest of a senator and church member.
The rally came a day after authorities announced that Senator Rodante Marcoleta, a member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) church and an ally of Vice President Sara Duterte, was set to be charged with graft tied to his election campaign fund.
