INC’s pro-Marcoleta rally
Marcoleta admitted he received the money as a “gift.” Will the INC absolve him for doing this? This is akin to putting a halo on Marcolerta’s toupee.

Groups ready for tomorrow’s anti-corruption rally
We reiterate our demand that top officials in the Executive and both Houses of Congress be made accountable for enabling, plotting, and benefiting from the widespread corruption in the bureaucracy,” BAYAN said.
