Thousands stormed Manila’s streets, enraged by a multi-billion-dollar corruption scandal involving stolen flood relief funds. Protests turned violent near the presidential palace, with 49 arrested and dozens injured, including 70 police officers, as demonstrators hurled rocks and fire bombs. Fueled by allegations that lawmakers and officials pocketed money meant for flood-hit communities, Filipinos—students, church groups, and activists—demand accountability. President Marcos Jr. condemns the corruption, urging peaceful protests, as the nation grapples with betrayal and broken trust.
