45,000 INC members protest alleged corruption at Quirino Grandstand

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. monitored rallies demanding transparency and accountability from Malacañang on Sunday, November 16.

An estimated 45,000 Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) members gathered at the Quirino Grandstand to protest alleged large-scale corruption, specifically in flood control projects.

A separate rally organized by the United People's Initiative (UPI), composed of retired military officers, took place at the People Power Monument.

The UPI urged President Marcos Jr. to take decisive steps to restore confidence in the Office of the President and demanded a full investigation into issues raised by former Ako Bicol Rep. Zaldy Co.

Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary Claire Castro dismissed calls for Marcos' resignation, stating he is working to "fix and clean the mess left by the previous one" and has initiated in-depth investigations.

Castro believes those seeking the President's ouster are those affected by the investigation and their supporters, warning against "Team Itim" who aim to stop accountability.
