Church, civil society groups call for sustained drive vs corruption in Bacolod
Around 3,000 Negrenses participated in an anti-corruption rally in Bacolod City on Sunday, November 30, mirroring the Trillion Peso March 2.0 in Metro Manila.
The mass action, organized by Tama Na-Negros and the Catholic Diocese of Bacolod, aimed to maintain pressure on government officials allegedly involved in corruption.
Protesters chanted "Jail the thieves" and urged active participation in prosecuting corrupt officials, with former Negros Occidental Governor Rafael Coscolluela emphasizing the need for sustained rallies to ensure investigations lead to prosecution and recovery of stolen funds.
Bishop Patricio Buzon highlighted the severe damage caused by substandard and ghost projects to the people's livelihoods and lives, while Reverend Father Fhil Duaban stressed the Church's role in defending people's rights.
