Tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in Manila again, continuing demonstrations against corruption in flood prevention projects. The protest, organized by Iglesia Ni Cristo, began on Sunday and attracted over 600,000 participants, continuing until Tuesday. The protesters are demanding a real and transparent investigation, expressing their frustration over ineffective inquiries. The scandal was amplified by an internal audit, revealed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., which uncovered serious irregularities involving public officials and contractors. This controversy has affected investor confidence and contributed to a decline in economic growth in the Philippines. Marcos has created a commission to investigate corruption in infrastructure projects, emphasizing his commitment to accountability and transparency.
