Thousands of people took to the streets in the Philippines on Sunday to denounce what they claimed was one of the country’s biggest corruption scandals in decades, involving billions of pesos in public funds meant for flood-control projects.
Protesters gathered at Manila’s Rizal Park and along the capital’s main highway, waving flags and holding banners reading “No more, too much, jail them” as they demanded accountability from the lawmakers and contractors accused of pocketing kickbacks.
