Manila Protests Demand Corruption Investigation

Tens of thousands of protesters, primarily from the Iglesia Ni Cristo church, have taken to the streets of Manila for two days, demanding accountability for alleged corruption in flood-mitigation projects. The protests, which are expected to continue through Tuesday, are calling for a thorough investigation into the irregularities. The scandal has implicated public works officials, executives from large construction firms, and even lawmakers, who are accused of profiting from substandard or non-existent flood control projects. President Marcos has established a commission to investigate, but protesters like Armelyn Bandril feel theres still a lack of accountability, with no one jailed despite ample proof. The ongoing protests highlight the publics demand for concrete action and justice in response to these significant allegations of corruption. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
