Protests in Philippines Demand Corruption Prosecution

Thousands of protesters, including clergy, gathered in the Philippines, demanding swift prosecution of officials involved in a corruption scandal over flood control projects. Left-wing groups also protested, calling for resignations and legal action. President Marcos Junior is working to calm public outrage, while the military rejects calls for unconstitutional acts. Since July, seven public works officers have been jailed, and a former engineer returned stolen funds. Protesters now demand more officials be jailed and forced to return stolen funds.
