AFP urges Trillion Peso March organizers to ensure order, non-violence

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has urged organizers of the "Trillion Peso March" scheduled for November 30 to maintain order and ensure non-violence among participants.

AFP spokesperson Colonel Francel Margareth Padilla emphasized that public safety during mass actions is a shared responsibility and called on organizers to 'police their ranks' for clear and responsible leadership.

She added that organizers should ensure participants remain disciplined and nonviolent, allowing peaceful expressions of opinion without putting anyone at risk.

Hundreds of thousands are expected to join the Trillion Peso March on Sunday, Nov. 30, amidst mounting public outrage over alleged government corruption.

The rally is organized by a coalition of religious groups, civil society organizations, sectoral groups, and political formations united in opposition to corruption and political dynasties.

Authorities are working with organizers to ensure crowd control and safety during the rally, which coincides with Bonifacio Day.
