On September 4, 2025, a series of widespread demonstrations began in the Philippines, with the largest protests occurring on September 21 at Rizal Park in Manila and at the People Power Monument and EDSA Shrine along EDSA in Quezon City, both within Metro Manila. [11] They involve several anti-corruption protests stemming from the ongoing flood control projects controversy that largely involved the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the legislative branch of the Philippine government. Several cities and municipalities across different provinces also held local demonstrations.

Contents

The September 21 protest in Rizal Park ("Baha sa Luneta") was organized by various sectorial groups, including activists and students, while the simultaneous protest at the People Power Monument and EDSA Shrine is known as the "Trillion Peso March", organized mainly by religious sectors and civic groups. [12] [13] Although protests were characterized as peaceful throughout the country, an isolated riot by masked demonstrators occurred along streets near Malacañang Palace in Manila, injuring several protesters, bystanders and policemen, and resulting in two casualties, one from a stabbing attack and another from a stray bullet.

Background

Reports of anomalies in flood control projects, including incomplete or substandard work and alleged ghost projects, prompted widespread criticism of the government. Public discontent grew amid calls for transparency and accountability in infrastructure spending. [14]

Protests

September 4

Protesters converged at the headquarters of Curlee and Sarah Discaya's St. Gerrard Construction General Contractor and Development Corporation in Pasig. The protesters vandalized the headquarter's gate. [15] According to Jonila Castro, one of the protesters, “We chose to come here to one of the companies of the so-called ‘Flood Control Queen and King,’ the Discayas, to show and bring the people’s anger against thieves.” [16]

In front of the DPWH main office along Bonifacio Drive, protesters, including those from youth group Anakbayan threw rotten vegetables and smelly water at the gate, which the Manila Police District Philippine National Police (PNP) tried to defend using their shields. [16]

September 5

In Cebu, regional leaders from AMA Sugbu Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), Bayan Muna Cebu, and Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) Central Visayas threw rotten tomatoes at the office of DPWH Region VII office in Cebu City decrying corruption. [17]

September 12

A "Black Friday" walkout was held by thousands of faculty, students and staff of the University of the Philippines, particularly in the University of the Philippines Diliman and in the University of the Philippines Manila. Over 3,000 from UP Diliman students, faculty, staff and community joined the protests, making it the largest mass gathering action since the COVID-19 pandemic in the university. [18] [19] Series of walkouts were staged by student governments and national-democratic mass organizations such as League of Filipino Students (LFS) also among various campuses. [20] Over 7,000 students joined in the UP Los Baños walkout on September 19. [21]

September 13

On September 13, several groups marched from the EDSA Shrine in Ortigas Center up to the People Power Monument on EDSA to protest the alleged corruption in nationwide flood control projects. [22]

September 18

Students from Bulacan State University staged a campus "walkout" on September 18 to protest alleged corruption in government projects. [23] The activity was joined by around 300 participants, including students, faculty members, youth organizations, and representatives from marginalized sections. [24]

September 20

Local residents of Hagonoy, Bulacan, held a protest on 3.9-foot-high (1.2 m) high tide water that engulfed many areas in the town and in the towns plaza to protest the failed flood control projects in the town. [25]

In Baguio City, a city-wide walkout was staged by students of Saint Louis University where it was participated by local chapters of Anakbayan, Bahaghari, Innabuyog-Gabriela Youth, Kabataan Partylist, and National Union of Students of the Philippines (NUSP). Students wore black and chanted "Marcos singilin, Duterte panagutin!" (Charge Marcos, hold Duterte accountable!). They said that “accountability must extend to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., as he himself signed the budget that enabled these corrupt schemes; he bears primary responsibility.” The protest was staged as a build-up for the September 21 protests.

September 21

A series of mass demonstrations around the country were held on Sunday, September 21. The date of the rally, September 21, coincides with the anniversary of the imposition of martial law by President Ferdinand Marcos in 1972, a symbolic choice for groups emphasizing democratic rights and government accountability. [27] [28] [29]

The largest protests were held in Metro Manila: the Baha sa Luneta in Rizal Park, and the Trillion Peso March in the EDSA Shrine. Organizers described the two rallies as complementary and encouraged participation in either or both protests. [30] Both events have avoided calling for the removal of President Bongbong Marcos and Vice President Sara Duterte, welcoming all groups opposed to corruption regardless of political affiliation. [31] [32] Bayan chairperson Teodoro Casiño warned against "vested interests" calling for the removal of Marcos and Duterte, while Akbayan representative Perci Cendaña noted that Marcos' resignation may benefit Duterte. [33] [34] In response, Anakbayan National Chairperson Mhing Gomez said that there must be no compromises—more than the removal of both Marcos and Duterte, it is the system that must be changed. [35]

Several government officials have expressed support for the protests. President Marcos has addressed the public's concerns by expressing his support for the protests, stating that he understands their anger and would likely join them if he were not president. [13] DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon expressed his full support for rallies that condemn government corruption, responding to ongoing anti-corruption demonstrations. [36] Vice President Duterte, who flew to visit OFW communities in Japan, also voiced her support for the protests, calling on the government to listen. [37]

During the rallies, Duterte supporters who were gathered near Gate 4 of Camp Aguinaldo had a brief scuffle with other protesters attending the Trillion Peso March. [38] [3] They had been calling for president Marcos' resignation in addition to their pronouncements against corruption. [38] Among those who attended the anti-Marcos rally were retired military officers led by Romeo Poquiz, a former general in the Air Force. [3] In later weeks, Armed Forces Chief of Staff Romeo Brawner Jr. admitted to being visited by Poquiz and seven other retired military officers at Camp Aguinaldo in the evening before September 21, with them calling for the military's withdrawal of support for president Marcos and initiating a "soft coup" in order to solve corruption. [3] [39] Brawner denied their proposal, citing the military's allegiance to the constitution. [3] [39] The administration has since deemed their actions seditious and treasonous, although president Marcos was noted to have been unbothered by the retired generals' actions. [3]

Luneta Park

Rizal Park became one of the primary venues for the September 21 mass demonstrations. The activities around Luneta were collectively referred to as "Baha sa Luneta" (transl. "Flood in Luneta"). [40]

Protesters gathered at the Luneta Park on Sunday in a program lead by the group Taumbayan Ayaw sa Magnanakaw at Abusado Network Alliance (transl. "People Against Thieves and Abusers Network Alliance"), or TAMA NA. [41] Students from the University of the Philippines Manila marched to the Luneta rally. [42] [43] [44]

About 49,000 people were in the park by 10 a.m., according to Manila Public Information Office. [45] The number of protesters swelled to about 100,000. [46]

EDSA Shrine

Led by Tindig Pilipinas, Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines, Clergy for Good Governance, and other religious groups, protesters gathered at the EDSA Shrine to conduct the Trillion Peso March demonstration. [47] [48] The number of protesters were about 70,000. [46]

Morayta

Supporters of Bongbong Marcos, like September Twenty-One People's Movement Against Corruption led by Jen Diaz and Giselle Albano, gathered at Morayta at 4:00 PM, calling Marcos and the Independent Commission for Infrastructure to end corruption. [49]

Other cities around the country

Planned demonstrations were reported at Plaza Independencia in Cebu City and a march from Jaro Plaza to the provincial capitol in Iloilo City. A rally was also scheduled at the public plaza in Bacolod. [50] [51]

In Cebu City, dozens of protesters, primarily students and youth, gathered at Fuente Osmeña Circle at 8:30 a.m. PST before marching along Osmeña Boulevard. The rally lasted for about two hours. [52] A separate rally was held by pro-Duterte protesters at Plaza Independencia, calling for President Marcos' resignation. [53]

In Davao City, pro-Duterte groups roasted 100 cows as an "offering to the heavens" against corruption in a prayer rally organized by Vice President Duterte. [54] The sacrificial slaughtering was condemned by the Philippine Animal Welfare Society. [55]

Similar protests were also held in Legazpi, [56] Laoag, Tuguegarao, San Fernando, Olongapo, Baguio, Pangasinan, Dumaguete, Cagayan de Oro, [57] and Butuan. [58]

While protests nationwide were relatively peaceful, rioting occurred along Mendiola Street and Recto Avenue in Manila. [59] Police reported that protesters in Mendiola threw improvised incendiary devices, including Molotov cocktails, which injured at least 39 officers. [60] Alongside these confrontations, media also reported scattered incidents of property damage such as burning tires and barricades during face-offs between security forces and demonstrators. [28] Rioters engaged in violent confrontations with police and ignited a trailer truck on Ayala Bridge in Manila. [61] A group of protesters in masks rioted along Recto Avenue by setting fires in the middle of the street, hurling stones, human waste, and objects at police officers, and attacking several nearby establishments including ransacking a Sogo Hotel branch. [62] Reports vary on testimonies regarding small explosions heard during confrontations between the authorities and rallyists in Mendiola, with some claiming to have heard at least one gunshot. [63] [64] None of the initial police officers assigned to crowd control held firearms, [65] while a SWAT team later arrived carrying firearms and was seen using tear gas by eyewitnesses. [66] [67]

Supporters of Rodrigo Duterte were reported to have attempted a march from their protest venue in Liwasang Bonifacio to Mendiola, intending to move their rally to nearby Malacañang Palace and call for President Marcos' resignation, but halted their march due to the rioters along Recto. [68] [69] [70]

Seventeen individuals were arrested for throwing rocks at riot police and igniting barricade tires, as reported by local authorities. Less than an hour later, police deployed a water cannon against another group of masked protesters. Some officers retaliated by throwing rocks back at the demonstrators. Manila Mayor Isko Moreno stated that police officers were injured during the confrontations and are currently receiving medical care. [28] Photojournalists who documented the event also reported beatings and harassment of rioters and bystanders committed by the police. [67]

Mark Chustin Serbo, a 15-year-old protester from Taguig who participated in the riots, was fatally stabbed by a 52-year-old watch technician after attempting to set fire to a police motorcycle near the latter's shop; he was initially reported to have been the lone casualty during the incident, having been declared dead on arrival upon being brought to the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center (JRRMMC). [71] [72] [73] Serbo's parents had no prior knowledge of his participation in the Manila rally, only being told by Serbo that he was going out for a Sunday afternoon with friends. [72] The technician later surrendered to Manila police and apologized, claiming to have panicked and blanked out in committing the attack amidst the violence. [71]

Activists and concerned citizens condemned the police and offered a memorial to Eric Saber, a by-stander construction worker, was said to have been shot and killed by the police on the aftermath of Baha sa Luneta September 21 anti-corruption protests. Eric Saber memorial.jpg

Eric Q. Saber, a 35-year-old construction worker from Paracale, Camarines Norte, was going home from work in Pasay when he was fatally shot during the riots. [8] [73] According to Bulatlat and AlterMidya, he had been crossing Recto Avenue to ride a jeepney when SWAT officers fired shots in his direction, resulting in a stray bullet hitting his neck; [8] [73] a spinal injury caused by the bullet wound was later confirmed by forensic pathologist Raquel Fortun. [74] Saber was soon brought to the JRRMMC, but reportedly died two days later from pneumonia as a result of his gunshot wound. [73] [74]

According to the police, 224 individuals were arrested during a protest against corruption, which resulted in 131 police officers getting injured. [75] The MPD reported arrests at various locations: 51 at Ayala Bridge (38 adults, 13 minors), 21 at Mendiola (14 adults, 7 minors), and 41 at Recto (13 adults, 28 minors). Among the injured police, eight had lacerations, with nine hospitalized for observation and one possibly needing admission for a nasal fracture, according to police. [76] [10] According to the National Union of People's Lawyers (NUPL), police tortured detainees at the police tent at Mendiola and at the MPD headquarters. [77]

Journalist Manuel Mogato remarked that the violence along the areas was an isolated incident among the peaceful nationwide demonstrations, noting that both protesters and police authorities were markedly more restrained than during the dictatorial presidency of Ferdinand Marcos in the 1970s and 1980s. [65] University of the Philippines Diliman journalism professor Danilo Arao did not just consider the Sep 21 rallies as culminating activities but also a time for all citizens, not just journalists, to carry out their patriotic duty to "fact check everything." [78]

The riots were estimated to have resulted in ₱ 10.4 million( US$ 211,167.51) in damage to both public infrastructure and private property. [79]
