Description

Thousands of people are protesting in the capital of the Philippines, following accusations of government corruption related to spending on infrastructure. Construction firms are accused of bribing politicians for contracts on flood control projects, which ended up being substandard, or never built at all. Organisers are calling it the “Trillion Peso March”. Al Jazeera’s Barnaby has more from the anticorruption protest in Manila, Philippines.
