PISTON urged the public to join their call for accountability, since every Filipino is affected by the alleged corruption.

On Saturday, Malacañang said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. respects freedom of expression, as several groups took to the streets this week to protest the irregularities in the government's flood control projects. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/ VAL, GMA Integrated News
