Thousands protest corruption in flood control projects nationwide

Thousands of Filipinos marched nationwide on Sunday, November 30, coinciding with the 162nd birth anniversary of Andres Bonifacio, to protest corruption in flood control projects.

In Metro Manila, the 'Trillion Peso March' at the People Power Monument in Quezon City was attended by 4,500 people, according to the Quezon City police.

About 3,000 people joined a separate anti-corruption protest at Luneta Park in Manila, led by left-wing groups.

Protesters demanded accountability for large-scale corruption and the resignation of officials linked to the multibillion-peso scandal.

Rafaela David, president of the Akbayan Party, stated, 'All of the fish must be caught, all of the fish must be answered, and there must be a big fish that should be caught before Christmas.'

Militant groups, including Bagong Alyansang Makabayan, marched from Luneta to Mendiola Street in Manila, facing initial restrictions from the police regarding permits and the area being declared off-limits.
