LOOK | Cries for justice and accountability floods the Luneta Park, United Nations, Manila, as "Baha sa Luneta 2.0" takes place, earlier today, November 30, 2025.
This was done in the massive demand for the actual prosecution of the corrupt and a testament to Bonifacio's legacy and unbridled passion for a democratic, truthful, just, and free country.
The protest was coordinated by the multi-sectoral formation, BAYAN (Bagong Alyansang Makabayan), with the Manila Local Government Unit (LGU) and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA). Although coordinated, altercations occured earlier, allegedly by the Philippine National Police (PNP), which halted the protest program from starting at its scheduled time of 9:00 AM.
As various mass organizations, activists, students, and the like, stood in the scorching heat, collective effort to show solidarity for the marginalized reigned through, calling for the dismantling of the systemic corruption in the government to make way for the proper treatment of our communities; the farmers, the educators, the children, the lgbtq+ community, the indigenous filipino people, and so much more.
Impeachment of President B**g B**g Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte were part of the pleas of the people, urging that they are not exempt from the flood control corruption that is currently relevant; Rather, they play a far deeper role. Especially on the 600 million confidential funds of Sara Duterte, for the Office of the Vice President (OVP) and Department of Education (DepEd), which still remains without a criminal case filed up until this year.
It is clear that all of this attention, that has garnered the will and the passion of the people to gather once more, emphasizes that the corruption brought to light by the flood control projects is only the beginning of the root cause of our country's poverty. There is still more corruption to abolish within the Philippine government, and it is with collective movements like this, we continue to urge those in power to listen to the people.
As shouted by the people of the protest today, "Kilusang Bayan, Kontra Korakot!"
