Three alleged members of the infamous hacking collective Anonymous Philippines, along with two adult-supporters, were questioned by the police on Tuesday, November 5, over the #MillionMaskMarch protest that took place in front of Batasan Pambansa, in Quezon City. The three, all wearing Guy Fawkes masks, were held for less than an hour at the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) Batasan Hills station. They were earlier invited by the police to supposedly broker a negotiation between the protestors and the police authorities due to the lack of a rallying permit. They earlier took part in the #MillionMaskMarch to protest against corruption in the legislature and the abuse of discretionary funds. The protest action is part of a series of global protests organized by Anonymous. Col. Eleazar Matta, QCPD station 6 chief, said the police did not detain the 5 protesters but wanted to talk to them and know their identities. Matta eventually allowed the protesters to march to the gate of the House of Representatives without a rally permit.
