Palace: Marcos to allow lawful protests vs corruption

Malacañang stated that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will not prevent any protests if they are conducted lawfully.

This assurance follows announcements from various groups planning continuous rallies against alleged corruption in flood control projects.

Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro emphasized that the President's only request is for protests to be law-abiding.

Castro also noted that individuals violating the law during protests might face charges.

These planned protests are in response to significant demonstrations held on September 21, where thousands demanded accountability for alleged misuse of funds in flood control projects.
