Marcos Jr. vows justice for Sept 21 rally violence, 216 arrested

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has vowed that those responsible for the violent incidents during the September 21 protest rallies in Manila will face justice.

The PNP reported 216 arrests, including 89 minors, and over 100 police officers sustained injuries, with some being severely beaten, during the protests.

One unidentified male protester died from a stab wound, and more than 70 civilians were injured.

A viral video captured a Special Weapons and Tactics member dragging a boy who was later allegedly beaten inside a hotel.

The Department of Justice is investigating claims that a former politician and a lawyer funded the rallyists, with police considering sedition charges.

Amid allegations of irregularities in flood control projects, P255 billion in funding has been redirected to the Health and Education departments.
