Organizers of previous anti-corruption protests challenge the purpose of an Iglesia ni Cristo (INC)-led rally held along EDSA, after the Quezon City government revokes the event permit, according to reports. Groups behind the “Trillion Peso March” issue a joint statement questioning why tens of thousands of INC supporters are mobilized in support of Sen. Rodante Marcoleta, who is facing an impending plunder case before the Office of the Ombudsman. They argue that no public official should need organized mass support to influence outcomes or cast doubt on a legal investigation. The groups also question the rally’s intent, asking why such a large mobilization is required in connection with a pending case. The reports state that QC’s decision to revoke the permit is part of the developments surrounding the rally, though the specific grounds for revocation are not fully detailed in the provided excerpts. The INC-led event and the permit action are therefore met with public scrutiny from anti-corruption groups and organizers of prior demonstrations.
