Today and everyday, let's all continue to .

Amnesty International Philippines is one with every Filipino whose rights, dignity, and future have been undermined by corruption and impunity that has long been plaguing the country for multiple administrations now. But the level of corruption and patronage that the nation blatantly experienced during Marcos Sr.’s dictatorship has been at an all-time high again under former President Duterte and the current Marcos Jr. administration.

The nationwide protests taking place today reflect widespread indignation. Urgent measures are needed to dismantle the political culture that enables corruption and further violations of human rights. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s government must strengthen national legal and institutional frameworks for fighting corruption and improving accountability if his administration is serious about ending the cycle of excess and abuse that has long burdened the Filipino people.
