Philippines: Marcos Backs Protests Against Corruption in Flood Control Projects | Spotlight |N18G
Philippines: Anti-corruption protests have erupted in Manila, fuelled by public anger over alleged corruption in flood control projects. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has publicly supported the demonstrations, stating he doesn't blame the people for their rage. Marcos has launched an investigation into the corruption allegations, vowing to hold even his own friends and allies accountable, including his cousin and House Speaker Martin Romualdez, who has denied any involvement. As a typhoon-prone country, the Philippines is devastated by annual floods, and the public's frustration over poor disaster management has been exacerbated by this scandal. While the protests have been relatively small and peaceful, unlike Nepal and Indonesia, President Marcos has encouraged demonstrators to express their anger peacefully while demanding accountability from those responsible.
