MANILA – The third part of the Trillion Peso March will take place on February 25, coinciding with the anniversary of the People Power Revolution.
The anti-corruption rally will be organized by Caritas Philippines, the social action arm of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, along with civil society groups including the Trillion Peso March Movement.
In a press conference on Wednesday, February 11, Kiko Aquino-Dee, co-convenor of the “Buhayin ang People Power Movement,” said activities will be held in the days leading up to the main rally.
The activities are scheduled from February 22 to February 23.
On February 25, the Trillion Peso March will feature “several activities in multiple points along EDSA” starting at 7 a.m.
A Mass will also be held during the march and will be presided over by Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas, a protégé of former Manila Archbishop Cardinal Jaime Sin.
Asked whether the movement would shift its stance on calls for the resignation of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte in light of recent impeachment filings, Aquino-Dee said the coalition does not include such calls in its official platform.
“We want to be clear that we don’t think those calls are against the Constitution it is the right of every citizen to call whatever call they officially want to make such resignations and those who are responsible,” Aquino-Dee said.
“That being said, again what we want to distance ourselves from or anything that is anything outside the bounds of the 1987 Constitution to some things like withdrawals of support from a revolutionary government and other sort of violent forces,” he added.
Tito Caluag, executive director of Caritas Philippines, underscored that the Church stands for the rule of law and respect for the Constitution.
“Tandaan natin na mahalgang panawagan ang pag-amin ng mga may-sala. At pagbabalik ng perang ninakaw, at hustisya na may karampatang parusa. Doon mangyayari ang paghihilom,” Caluag said.
The first Trillion Peso March was held on September 21, 2025 as a protest against corruption, while the second took place on November 30, 2025, coinciding with Bonifacio Day.
