UPI says rally to proceed with Day 3 as INC ends protest
The United People's Initiative (UPI) will proceed with the third day of its rally against government corruption at the People Power Monument in Quezon City.
This decision comes even as the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) ended its protest at Luneta Park in Manila earlier than scheduled.
The INC concluded its rally Monday night, stating its members did not need three days to voice their calls for transparency and a better democracy.
UPI Secretary General Capt. Rey Valeros (retired) confirmed their rally would continue Tuesday at the People Power Monument.
UPI convenor retired Gen. Romeo Poquiz also stated on social media that their third day would proceed at Edsa.
However, the Quezon City local government has yet to approve a permit for the supposed third day of the UPI rally.
The UPI, composed mainly of retired military and police officials, has calls including for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to step down amid alleged corruption in flood control and other infrastructure projects.
