PROTEST FOR JUSTICE, TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

On November 16, 2025, nearly a million people gathered at Rizal Park for what can only be described as a massive outpouring of indignation.

The three-day rally, organized by the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), was not just a simple protest; it was a movement fueled by deep-seated anger over corruption in flood control projects. As the crowd swelled, so did the chants for justice for flood victims and accountability for the billions allegedly siphoned off by corrupt officials.

It was like a brewing storm, with emotions spilling over as people demanded to be heard. INC spokesperson Edwil Zabala insisted the rally was "not meant to interfere with politics."

But let’s be real—when nearly a million voices unite to call for transparency and justice, it’s hard to ignore the political undertones. People are fed up, and their cries echo a collective frustration over how public funds seem to vanish, especially when communities are left vulnerable to floods.

The rally, which is expected to grow even larger, highlights the urgent need for justice, transparency and accountability. It’s a powerful reminder that when citizens unite for a cause, they can’t be easily brushed aside. The call for change is loud and clear, and it’s here to stay.
