Protests Against Political Corruption in the Philippines
More Info
On August 26, 2013, tens of thousands of Filipinos took to the streets of Manila to protest official corruption and pork barrel spending through a governmental project known as the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF). Outrage over the misappropriation is directed at President Benigno Aquino III, who demonstrators are calling upon to dismantle the PDAF. The Philippines is one of the most corrupt countries in East Asia.
