A huge number of members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ block the national highway of Buhangin, Davao City on August 25, 2024. Supporters parked a heavy equipment, a truck, and some cars while the supporters occupied all the lanes of the main highway.

The supporters held a "prayer rally" but the activity involved mostly about expressing their rage against the authorities for raiding their compound on Saturday. Ryan Evangelista, ABS-CBN News
