Thousands of demonstrators gathered in front of the National Press Club to stage protests and human chains demanding various reforms. A total of 6,531 primary assistant teacher candidates who passed the third phase selection process but were denied final recruitment have been staging continuous protests. They claim that appointments were made from the first and second phases, but they were unfairly left out. Meanwhile, the Footwear Manufacturers Association is protesting for VAT exemption on plastic and rubber shoes. Additionally, app-based ride-sharing drivers are demanding the release of fellow driver Rocky, withdrawal of false cases against them, and recognition as formal workers under a nine-point demand list.
