Filipinos nationwide continue to express their anger. Carrying handmade placards, vendors, farmers, fishers, workers, church people, students, youth, professionals, and other sectors of society are unfazed by rain, flood, or hot sunshine in their drive to condemn widespread corruption in the country.
