Thousands of Filipinos took to the streets to protest rampant corruption within the government, particularly calling for accountability over a flood control fraud scandal. Demonstrators are demanding the return of stolen funds and seeking the resignation of President Marcos, with many chanting against perceived corrupt practices. The protests have seen a significant police presence, with 17,000 officers deployed to manage the demonstrations, particularly in Metro Manila. The unrest has led to heightened security measures, including the lockdown of the presidential palace and the restriction of protest setups at major rally sites. Despite the significant turnout, protests have been reported as generally peaceful. As the movement grows, calls for broader political reforms and the prosecution of corrupt officials continue to resonate among the supporters.
