MANILA, Philippines - The government is readying security and traffic management measures for Sept.11, when citizens are expected to converge on Edsa to express their outrage again over the misuse of congressional pork barrel funds.
Valte said everyone is free to attend the rally, to be held barely three weeks after the “Million People March†in Rizal Park.
Organizers said the rally, dubbed as “Edsa Tayo,†would be a prayer vigil against corruption. They said the event would demonstrate the anger of citizens against those who embezzle funds meant to help the poor.
Valte refused to speculate if the perception that pork barrel scam suspect Janet Lim-Napoles is receiving special treatment would encourage more people to join the Sept. 11 rally.
