A religious group that previously supported President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s election is now mounting one of the most sustained protest actions against his administration in Manila, according to multiple reports. The group’s relationship with Marcos dates back to early in his term: shortly after he took office in 2022, Marcos makes a courtesy call to the group’s leader. Despite that prior engagement, the group now challenges Marcos’s policies through ongoing demonstrations. The two outlets describe the protests as a notable continuation of the group’s public opposition, highlighting the contrast between the earlier political support and the current stance. Both reports frame the protests as reflecting the group’s continued influence in political and public life, while stopping short of attributing specific policy demands in detail. Together, the coverage underscores how the same religious leadership that backed Marcos during the election is now actively mobilizing supporters to press their concerns directly in the capital.
