On the second day of the three-day rally, the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) protest at Quirino Grandstand swelled to about 180,000 participants, according to police estimates.
Many rally-goers camped out overnight, setting up tents around the Grandstand area to ensure their presence throughout the event.
Why It Matters:
- The massive turnout underscores the passion and organization behind the protest, highlighting INC’s strong mobilizing capacity.
- The size of the crowd may increase pressure on government leaders to address transparency and corruption concerns raised by participants.
- Security and logistics remain a major concern for authorities tasked with managing the event.
