The Kilusang Bayan Kontra Kurakot (KBKK or People’s Movement Against Corruption) will again lead a massive anti-corruption people’s protest in Metro Manila and other areas nationwide on November 30. The group’s main call: “Hold all those involved accountable!”

The KBKK and the organizations, councils, and associations that compose it announced the forthcoming demonstration during a gathering on October 29. According to the KBKK, only holding all those implicated in anomalies accountable can end systemic corruption that plagues the government.

“When we say ‘lahat,’ we mean everyone starting with the President. After all, it was he who formulated and approved the annual budget, including the release of funds for the anomalous projects in 2023, 2024 and 2025,” the KBKK declared.

It added that Marcos not knowing about the enormous and recurring anomalies revealed in recent months is impossible. “Any credible investigation must determine whether Marcos himself received billions from kickbacks,” the group stated.

“‘Lahat’ also includes Vice Pres. Sarah Duterte, who was impeached last February and should face trial in the Senate,” the KBKK continued. Duterte faces charges for misusing ₱612.5 million in confidential and intelligence funds, including ₱254.9 million in ghost or fabricated expenses.

For the KBKK, the planned mobilization on November 30 is crucial to pressure the Marcos regime to seriously confront rampant corruption instead of passing the blame. “We do not want a repeat of the Napoles PDAF scam where only the small fry were punished and it was business as usual for those at the top,” the KBKK organizers said.

The investigation into anomalies in flood control projects began months ago in the House of Representatives, the Senate, and is now being handled by the Marcos-created Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI). The public has repeatedly questioned these investigations’ inconsistency and lack of transparency, particularly at the ICI.

KBKK’s organizations are reportedly preparing to mobilize more than 100,000 individuals—exceeding the turnout of the “Flood at Luneta” demonstration held on September 21. The number of organizations joining the KBKK in the fight against corruption and for accountability and truth continues to grow.

KBKK members include Taumbayan Ayaw sa Magnanakaw at Abusado Network Alliance (TAMA NA or People Against Thieves and Abusers), Panatang Luntian (Green Oath), Movement Against Tyranny, Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan), Bunyog Pagkakaisa (Bunyog United), Greenpeace Philippines, Seniors Kontra Kurakot (Seniors Against Corruption), Social Workers Against Corruption, One Nation One Voice One Church, United People Against Corruption (UPAC), Working People Against Corruption, UP Diliman University Student Council, PUP Central Student Council, Gabriela, Women for the Motherland, San Pablo Ayaw sa Korapsyon (Sapak or San Pablo Against Corruption), Hiphop United, Health Alliance for Democracy, and Makabayan Coalition.

Prior to November 30, the KBKK and its allies will hold weekly Black Friday Protests in communities, universities, factories, markets, and other public gathering places. KBKK organizations will also launch forums, large assemblies, and banner displays to reach more Filipinos.

These activities include the “Ghostbuster Protest” by Bayan in Mendiola, Manila on October 31; the UPAC People’s March on November 7; the Yolanda victims commemoration on November 8; student protests on International Students Day on November 17; the health workers’ day of action on November 21; a collective bike ride against corruption on November 22; teachers’ protest actions on November 28; and other local mobilizations in towns and cities nationwide.

The KBKK declared that its ranks are determined to continue the struggle with the Filipino people until all those involved are held accountable.
