Several hundred protesters began gathering at the People Power Monument along EDSA, Quezon City early Sunday morning for a series of mass demonstrations against government corruption.
The rally, which started around 8:30 a.m., includes members of the groups Tindig Pilipinas and the United People’s Initiative (UPI).
UPI is an organization supportive of former president Rodrigo Duterte.
Among those seen at the area were retired military generals Romeo Poquiz and Orlando de Leon.
The UPI group set up a tent near the monument displaying placards, including one addressed to Armed Forces chief of staff Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. that reads: “Gen. Brawner, it is time you support the call of the people.”
More demonstrations are expected throughout the day as part of the public outcry over recent corruption allegations.
