Soon after I found the answer. They were in the queue for entry visas to the US - this is where Filiponos would go to get migrant entry to America. Seems like the message hasn’t got through yet. By the time I came back the other way, the queue had expanded several hundred metres.

I was out running very early this morning along the edge of Manila Bay and I saw a very long queue of people - hundreds of metres long. I wondered what it was. Why were so many people out so early in this queue? I kept running.
