Clashes erupt at anti-corruption protests in Philippines
"Almost 50,000 people took to the streets of the Philippines capital, Manila, on Sunday to
protest corruption. The rally was marred by scuffles between the demonstrators and the officers.

The protesters at Manila’s Luneta Park waved national flags and chanted “Jail them!” as they demanded the prosecution of both officials and entrepreneurs involved in the alleged corrupt schemes." RT
