Police were seen arresting several protesters, who earlier hurled red paint at a US government seal at the entry to the embassy, sparking a confrontation.

The hundreds of protesters were demanding an end to the presence of US troops in the country and backing the call for an independent foreign policy by President Rodrigo Duterte, who is on a state visit to China.
