Rapporteret af AI Billede genereret af AI
On November 30, 2025, thousands of Filipinos joined the second Trillion Peso March across the country to protest corruption, especially in flood control projects. The demonstrations called for transparency, return of stolen funds, and ending political dynasties. Though peaceful, the rallies showed disunity in messages, from resignation calls to rejections of them.
Both the defense and prosecution are urging International Criminal Court pre-trial judges to replace the second neuropsychologist appointed to examine former president Rodrigo Duterte. Court documents cite alleged 'offensive' social media posts demonstrating a lack of professionalism. The ICC deputy prosecutor has echoed the call for revocation.
