(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.

That was pretty chicken of them don’t ya think
Rambabe can deal with a little egg and paintball attack.Don't forget she has combat experience taking live fire back in her Bosnia days!!
That's when she was the #1 troubleshooter, butt kicker and name taker for the Clinton administration.
They would send her into all the hot spots that were too dangerous for President Clinton to visit.
....now you know why all the coconuts were removed for Odumbo’s visit
Balut - A fertilized duck embryo that is boiled alive and eaten in the shell. Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, balut are mostly sold by street vendors in the regions where they are available. It is commonly sold as streetfood in the Philippines.
Your right.... a waste of eggs!
LOL!
Was she hanging out of the sunroof at the time?
Uoops, Manilla. Sorry.
Where is the reset button?
I remember riding the Philippine Rabbit bus from Angeles to Manila. At every stop, the vendors would pass outside the bus, yelling “balut, balut....” Passengers would buy them and then crack and eat them. EEEUUUWWWWWWW.
Haha that’s exactly what I was thinking.
I despise this woman.
PI ng
Not sure what to make of it other than the 'crowds' seem to be relatively small.
It's a guess, but I'm starting to suspect the enemy of America is attempting a global anger against America ala Viet Nam protests of the 60's and 70's.
My sis-in-law is Filipina as well and the reports are that it’s only a small group of morons. State Dept do not have the resources of a 1000 man team of the SS. Whenever I head to Manila, Cebu, any parts of Luzon, Pampanga I have never been threatened.
There’s a reason why Tim Tebow preaches there for many years...
It’s any bus going to the provinces. Just do not be on those buses when it’s NOV 1 or HOLY WEEK. It’s great buying smokes one at a time in a jeepney and having a puff during traffic..
Wrong type of “eggs”.
I thought of Nixon, too. But #1 Nixon was in the car. and #2 I thought his car was pelted with rocks, not just eggs.
They are the usual leftists who demonstrate all the time.
The real news is that the cops left them get that close. Sounds like the President better start cleaning up the cops after he chases the criminals in the last administration.
