Thousands take to streets as Philippines protests flood control fraud
Thousands of Filipinos gather in Manila for an anti-corruption protest. The demonstrators are angry about a ballooning scandal involving bogus flood-control projects believed to have cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Rage over the so-called ghost infrastructure projects has been mounting since President Ferdinand Marcos put them centre stage in a July state of the nation address that followed weeks of deadly flooding.
