Anti-Trump protesters gather in Washington D.C.

Crowds of protesters turned up in Washington D.C. Saturday to join in a nationwide "Hands Off" protest against U.S. President Donald Trump's policies since he came back to the White House in January.

Organized by a coalition of more than 150 groups, including civil rights organizations, labor unions and veterans' associations, the coordinated movement led to over 1,400 protests nationwide to oppose Trump over the economy, immigration and human rights.

Since taking office, the Trump administration has faced heavy criticism for sweeping policy changes, including mass layoffs in federal agencies, deportation of immigrants, steep budget cuts and imposing sweeping tariffs on trading partners.

Trump shook financial markets and upset nations around the world with a raft of trade tariffs this week. Protesters said they were concerned about the adverse impact of tariffs on consumer prices and cost of living.

"It's going to be generational. I'm afraid, I'm worried for my kids and grandkids. These costs are going to affect them for a long, long time," said a protester.

"I think the reset is going to be devastating to the people in this country because all it's going to do is reset it so that manufacturers in this country can raise their prices on us," said another protester.

"It's going to be a huge detriment to the American economy. Again, I'm just listening to the experts and what all the experts are saying -- and who's not an expert is Trump," said a third protester.

According to organizers, nearly 600,000 people have signed up for the "Hands Off" movement.

The death toll from a landfill collapse in the central Philippine city of Cebu has risen to eight by Monday morning as search and rescue operations continued for another 28 missing people.

The landfill collapse occurred on Thursday as dozens of sanitation workers were working at the site. The disaster has already caused injuries of 18 people.

Family members of the missing people said the rescue progress is slow, and the hope for the survival of their loved ones is fading.

"For me, maybe I’ve accepted the worst result already because the garbage is poisonous and yesterday, it was raining very hard the whole day. Maybe they’ve been poisoned. For us, alive or dead, I hope we can get their bodies out of the garbage rubble," said Maria Kareen Rubin, a family member of a victim.

Families have set up camps on high ground near the landfill, awaiting news of their relatives. Some people at the site said cries for help could still be heard hours after the landfill collapsed, but these voices gradually faded away.

Bienvenido Ranido, who lost his wife in the disaster, said he can't believe all that happened.

"After they gave my wife oxygen, my kids and I were expecting that she would be saved that night because she was still alive. But the night came and till the next morning, they didn't manage to save her," he said.
