Violence broke out in Manila on Sunday, September 21, after protesters marching against corruption were blocked by police from reaching the Presidential Palace. Demonstrators hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails at anti-riot forces, who responded with flash bangs and water cannons to disperse the crowd.
The Philippine National Police reported dozens of injuries and confirmed the arrest of 17 protesters. The rallies, which drew tens of thousands earlier in the day, coincided with the anniversary of former strongman Ferdinand Marcos Sr.’s declaration of Martial Law—an era many recall as one of the darkest chapters in Philippine history.
