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 in Washington . `` 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 and went to the next scheduled meeting place . '' Toner later clarified that the `` paintball '' was more likely a balloon filled with paint . 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 . As part of that treaty , she signed the Manila Declaration binding the countries to work together on a variety of mutual interests .
