On September 21, 2025, exactly 53 years since the declaration of Martial Law in the Philippines, thousands of Filipinos took to the streets at the “Baha sa Luneta” protest and the “Trillion Peso March” along EDSA, to unite their voices against a new kind of tyranny.

The Philippine Flood Control Scandal, revealing billions of pesos allegedly siphoned from crucial flood mitigation projects, has stirred nationwide outrage over government negligence and betrayal of public trust.

The protests were a reminder that the fight for democracy and justice continues, now focused on holding corrupt officials accountable and demanding transparency from those in power.

Lending their voices and presence to this historic moment were numerous celebrities who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Filipino people, amplifying the call that the era of impunity must end.
