The Philippine government was urged on Thursday to “prepare for the worst” and immediately set up a contingency plan and activate the hotlines to ensure that Filipinos working in Hong Kong would be safe amid the protest actions in the city.

– Policemen on duty in Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok International Airport, Hong Kong, China, August 14, 2019. Flights were departing largely on schedule a day afterhub. The Airport Authority said it had been granted an injunction order to ban anyone from illegally or intentionally disrupting the normal usage of the airport.

Police and protesters faced off again on the streets of the financial hub overnight, with riot officers quickly firing tear gas as their response to demonstrators hardens. “I have ZERO doubt that if President Xi wants to quickly and humanely solve the Hong Kong problem, he can do it. Personal meeting?” Trump said on Twitter.

It said on Wednesday an application for protests to be held in the terminal must be made in advance with a “Letter of No Objection” from police. The Chinese Securities Association of Hong Kong said the city’s international reputation would be seriously damaged if the violence and unrest were not stopped as soon as possible.

Protesters are still pushing for authorities to listen to their five requests, which include the complete withdrawal of a now-suspended extradition bill that would have allowed criminal suspects to be sent for trial in mainland Chinese courts. The senator recalled that during the 2014 pro-democracy protest, the Hong Kong government shut down telecommunication networks, leaving all mobile communications paralyzed.
