86 Catholic dioceses back anti-corruption "Trillion Peso March"

Eighty-six Catholic dioceses nationwide have pledged to support the Trillion Peso March, a rally against corruption and political dynasties on November 30 at the EDSA People Power Monument.

Caritas Philippines, the advocacy arm of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), expressed strong support for the protest, calling it a powerful plea for truth, accountability, and transparency.

This demonstration is the second major anti-corruption protest organized by the Trillion Peso March movement, with local prayer rallies to be held across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

The rally will take place amidst ongoing investigations into alleged corruption within government infrastructure projects.

The Office of the Ombudsman filed corruption and malversation charges on November 18, 2025, against former Ako-Bicol party-list Rep. Zaldy Co, several officials from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Region 4B, and Sunwest Corporation directors.

Bishop Dennis Villarojo of the Malolos Diocese led about 3,000 parishioners in a march in Malolos City, Bulacan, which was the diocese's participation in the nationwide Trillion Peso March.
