Malaybalay mayor joins Trillion Peso March vs corruption in Bukidnon
The Diocese of Malaybalay is preparing to host a nationwide "Trillion Peso March" prayer rally and protest on November 30 to denounce corruption and demand accountability.
Hundreds of Bukidnon residents joined the rally, gathering for a unity Mass and protest actions at the San Isidro Cathedral.
The march is a response to the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines' call to support the movement led by the Church Leaders Council for National Transformation (CLCNT).
Bishop Noel Pedregosa of Malaybalay issued a pastoral letter urging widespread participation and emphasizing the Church's duty to speak against injustices.
The event aims to address the ongoing multibillion-peso flood control controversy that has embroiled the government, involving contractors, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) officials, and politicians.
The Diocese of Malaybalay joined 86 dioceses nationwide holding simultaneous actions.
The bishop stressed that the gathering is founded on democratic principles and Christian faith, and is contrary to God's desire for a society built on humility, accountability, and the common good.
