Demonstrations continued for a second day on 17 November, demanding accountability over alleged corruption in Philippine flood-mitigation projects. The protest was driven by public dissatisfaction over alleged misuse of funds intended for critical infrastructure, which citizens believe contributed to recent destructive flooding events. The 16 November Manila rally was the largest in recent months and is expected to continue until 18 November. Heightened security measures and travel restrictions, especially in Manila, may disrupt operations.
