(CNN) -- A motorcade carrying Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the Philippines was pelted with eggs and other objects Wednesday, the State Department confirmed
The incident occurred at 2:45 p.m. in Manila, when the motorcade was traveling from the presidential palace to another location, deputy State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters
"The secretary's motorcade ran into a crowd of approximately 40 to 50 people, protesters," Toner said. "They threw objects at the lead vehicle -- I believe it was eggs and paintballs, they maybe threw rock -- and the motorcade pulled out of that area
He also said that at no time was Clinton in danger.
Clinton is in the Philippines for commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty.

Yes, but they were organic, free range eggs!
I thought the world was going to love us when 0 was elected?
Salamat, Pinoys/Pinays !!
hehehe!
“At no time was Clinton in danger.”
Not like landing under sniper fire?
They were probably wanting to show their love for her. It cn’t be because they hate us. According to the main stream media, when the parasites, idiots, and traitors put obama in the white House, the World would love and adore us once again.
It's that great U.S. foreign policy we keep hearing about!
No, no sniper fire this time.
lol..
What a waste of eggs! (Unless they were rotten;)
We got some video here with violence directed at Hillary’s motorcade...Our friends seem to be ripping up an American flag too.

The "other objects" are probably eggs as well. However, they're eggs that have passed through the human digestive system.
Well, damn the bad luck!
Nixon got egged down in Venezuela when he was veep. It was widely reported that he had brought disgrace to America: “Oh, if only Adlai, Mr. World Peace had been elected...”
