Many members of the religious group Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) spent the night in the vicinity of Quirino Grandstand at Rizal Park in Manila so as not to miss Day 2 of their anti-corruption rally on Monday.
The members put up tents and laid down mats, as seen in videos taken by Super Radyo dzBB reporter Ralph Obina.

Other INC members stayed in three areas designated by the Manila local government unit as temporary shelter for the night: San Andres Sports Complex, Dapitan Sports Complex, and Del Pan Sports Complex
It was still drizzling as of before 6 a.m. Monday, but INC members did not mind this, according to GMA Integrated News reporter James Agustin.

According to the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, 120,000 individuals camped out at Quirino Grandstand as of 10 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 16.
Some of them came from provinces, enduring hours-long travel to get to the rally venue in Manila.
The INC rally program on Monday will start at 9 a.m. and will continue throughout the day, organizers said.
The three-day protest organized by the INC is focused on demanding concrete actions against corruption, particularly linked to anomalous flood control projects, and is not aimed at the downfall of the government, church officials said on Sunday. —KG, GMA Integrated News
