Life-savers or Embezzlers! Catholic Church Joins the Mass Protests

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. himself acknowledged the widespread embezzlement that occurred under the government’s financial aid programs, sparking the beginning of the protests against corruption. This scenario is not unique to one country anymore, as nations like Nepal, Madagascar, and now the Philippines in Southeast Asia, are witnessing a growing outrage against corruption. It’s not just political downfall but the sheer cruelty that people see in this corruption that fuels the protests. People, together with Catholic priests and churchgoers, are showcasing strong opposition against the corruption that has plagued society.
