The same video was posted online in September 2025, falsely claiming to show the Trillion Pesos March, an anti-corruption protest held at the EDSA People’s Power Monument to protest the alleged misuse of flood control funds. However, verified reports and documentation about the event do not match the viral clip.
Flood control protests, Marcos’ resignation: The misleading video was posted around the same time as various groups were protesting against corruption within the government.
On June 4, a rally was held outside the Senate, where lawmakers held a public hearing on allegations of fraud in the flood control project. Supporters of the vice president called on the Senate to continue investigating the alleged irregularities in flood control spending, the dismissal of impeachment proceedings against Mr. Duterte, and the resignation of Mr. Marcos. Meanwhile, another group staged a protest demanding the resignation of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano.
However, the photos and videos from these protests do not match the images in the viral video showing large crowds.
