On 21 September 2025, tens of thousands of Filipinos filled the streets, demanding an end to ๐ธ๐น๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐, ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐ท๐๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ.
๐ธ Between 2023โ2025, at least $๐ฎ.๐ญ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ณ๐น๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ-๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐น ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ท๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐ผ๐น๐ฒ๐ป. Greenpeace warns it may be closer to $๐ญ๐ด ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.ย While politicians enriched themselves, families were left defenseless: homes flooded, harvests lost, children wading through water.
The date carries heavy history: 53 years ago, Ferdinand Marcos Sr. declared Martial Law. Today, under Marcos Jr., people see the same story: stolen wealth, stolen democracy, stolen futures.
โ๐ฝ Yet the people resist. From Rizal Park to EDSA, they marched peacefully, invoking the spirit of the ๐ญ๐ต๐ด๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.ย But the state responded with repression: ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐ผ๐ป๐, ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ด๐ฎ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐. Over 100 people were detained, including youth and activists.ย
๐ด Amid the placards, the ๐ข๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฒ flag stood out: a youth symbol of defiance against corrupt rulers. Popular culture became a weapon of resistance, echoing recent ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ต-๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ in ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฎ and ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐น.
๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป. It is:๐ ๐๐น๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ โ because corruption kills when funds for protection are stolen.โ๏ธ ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ โ because people demand truth, accountability, and an end to kleptocracy.๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐๐บ โ because it is women, youth, farmers, Indigenous and marginalized communities who pay the heaviest price.
๐คย Itโs about ๐ฆ๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ โ Filipinos standing strong against kleptocracy, inspiring movements across the Global South.
