The Iglesia ni Cristo ended its three-day rally on July 2 in support of Sen. Rodante Marcoleta, who faces looming plunder charges.
The rally concluded on Thursday evening at Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila after moving from the EDSA People Power Monument in Quezon City. INC spokesperson Brother Edwil Zabala said the group had clearly conveyed its message to authorities and hoped for true justice.
Zabala stated, “Salamat sa inyong lahat, sa pakikipag-isa sa mapayapang kilusan nating ito.” Political allies including Sen. Robin Padilla and former spokesperson Salvador Panelo also addressed the crowd.
Police described the event as generally peaceful and orderly, with attendance peaking at 8,200 people. The Manila Police District estimated 2,800 rallyists on the final day.
