Civil society and church groups have clarified that their Nov. 30 protest, called the “Trillion Peso March,” is not aimed at forcing government officials to resign. Instead, the rally focuses on holding those responsible accountable for the alleged flood-control corruption scandal.
Key organizers, including Kilusang Bayan Kontra Kurakot (KBKK), emphasized that the protest seeks a full, transparent investigation into anomalies in flood-control projects, involving the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), contractors, district engineers, and lawmakers.
The movement stresses that no one should be “above investigation” and that the rally is non-partisan, not supporting or opposing any political figure.
Some labor groups, such as the Working People Against Corruption (WPAC-11), have suggested that both Marcos and Duterte resign, but organizers clarified that this is not the rally’s primary demand.
Organizers also highlighted that genuine accountability goes beyond stepping down — it requires returning stolen public funds and facing legal consequences.
In the lead-up to Nov. 30, the Trillion Peso March has planned “White Ribbon Fridays,” featuring weekly mass prayers, candlelight vigils, and community events to raise awareness and keep the momentum going.
