INC stresses that it doesn’t support moves that are unconstitutional
The Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) concluded its rally against corruption, emphasizing their opposition to any unconstitutional actions.
The INC's general evangelist, Bienvenido Santiago Jr., stated that the protest aimed to call for actions against corruption in flood control projects, not to overthrow the government.
The group decided to end their two-day rally early at the Quirino Grandstand due to extensive media coverage that helped achieve their goal of seeking justice, accountability, transparency, and peace.
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla stated that the rally was peaceful, with no one hurt, nothing damaged, and no chaos caused, calling it a victory for democracy.
During the rally, Senator Imee Marcos accused her brother, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., of drug use, an allegation dismissed by Malacañang as a desperate move.
