Philippines Protest LIVE: Laban sa Katiwalian: The September 21 Protests | Philippine Groups Demand Independent Investigation of ‘Excessive Corruption’ | Manila | CNBC TV18
Nationwide “Laban sa Katiwalian” (Fight Against Corruption) protests on the 53rd anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law. Thousands of Filipinos are expected to gather at Rizal Park, the People Power Monument, and other areas across the country to voice their outrage over the alleged corruption in government flood control projects. This series of demonstrations calls for transparency and accountability from public officials.
Various groups gather at Edsa Shrine for a protest in the capital over a massive corruption scandal involving flood-control projects. Two Philippine senators were implicated last Tuesday in the corruption scandal that is being investigated by Congress and the government and has sparked outrage in a Southeast Asian nation prone to deadly storms and flooding.
Students walked out of classrooms while activist groups mounted rallies on Metro Manila streets as part of mass actions dubbed as Black Friday protests condemning alleged corruption in anomalous flood control projects.
At the gate of the Senate in Pasay City, protesters hurled eggs at tarpaulin images of Senators Jinggoy Estrada and Joel Villanueva, both of whom have been linked by a former Public Works engineer to the controversy. Both senators have denied the allegations.
