LAWMAKERS JOIN THOUSANDS AT ANTI-CORRUPTION PROTESTS
Senate Deputy Majority Leader Risa Hontiveros, Senators Kiko Pangilinan and Bam Aquino, and House Deputy Minority Leader Leila de Lima on Sunday joined thousands of Filipinos at the EDSA People Power Monument to protest the multi-trillion peso flood control scandal.
They marched alongside the "Akbayan Reform Bloc" โ Akbayan Partylist Representatives Chel Diokno, Perci Cendaรฑa, Dadah Kiram Ismulah, and Dinagat Islands Rep. Kaka Bag-ao โ in a mobilization organized by Simbahan at Komunidad laban sa Katiwalian (SIKLAB), Akbayan Party, Tindig Pilipinas, ML Partylist, Nagkaisa Labor Coalition, Kalipunan, and Youth Against Kurakot (YAK).
Organizers said more than 3,000 joined the morning rally at EDSA, signaling the start of a series of demonstrations that will culminate in the "Trillion Peso March" later in the day, with over 30,000 expected to participate.
At the same time, Kabataan Partylist joined a massive anti-corruption rally at Luneta Park. As of 10:45 a.m., the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) estimated the crowd at 49,000.
Cendaรฑa warned that public anger is "nearing boiling point" and vowed that the Dutertes' "legacy of corruption" will face a day of reckoning. He also cautioned President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. that failure to hold allies accountable could shift the people's anger toward him.
Diokno stressed the need to recover stolen public funds, while Ismulah called for a probe into anomalous projects in Mindanao, including those allegedly funneled to Davao City.
Kabataan Partylist, meanwhile, declared: "NEVER AGAIN TO CORRUPTION! The power of the people is stronger than the people in power!"
