Militant activists protest outside the gate of Manila Boystown Complex in Marikina City on Monday, November 16, 2015, to call on the authorities to “free” urban poor street dwellers from Manila which were housed in one of the building of the complex according to the activists. The street dwellers according to the group were brought in the Boystown Complex to keep them at bay during the Apec summit.
