MANILA (Reuters) -Tens of thousands of protesters returned to the streets of Manila for a second straight day on Monday, pressing their demands for accountability over alleged corruption in flood-mitigation projects.
The protest, which started on Sunday and drew over 600,000 people, will run until Tuesday. It is organised by Iglesia Ni Cristo, a 2-million-strong church known for bloc voting, which mobilised members nationwide.
Many in Sunday’s crowd expressed frustration at what they described as ineffective inquiries into irregularities in major infrastructure projects.
