'Trillion Peso March': 100,000 Filipinos Rally to Denounce Corruption and Demand Justice

Описание: MANILA – Over 100,000 Filipinos recently took to the streets in Manila and in major cities of the Philippines, in a powerful call for justice and accountability. As the country marked more than 50 years since Martial Law, protestors and faith leaders denounced corruption while also praying for national transformation.

Furious over what they call deeply rooted and systemic government corruption, this latest outrage centers on flood control projects where investigators have uncovered high levels of fraud and collusion.

In his State of the Nation Address, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. cited corruption in public works as a major factor behind the country's devastating floods. He warned that those found guilty would be held accountable. Investigations have since revealed that contractors, government workers, and members of the Senate and Congress allegedly conspired to pocket more than $30 billion in kickbacks from flood control and infrastructure funds.
