During President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.’s visit in Iloilo City in August 2025, a resident expected that the unfinished Aganan Flyover would be addressed.

The over P800-million Aganan Flyover in Pavia town, Iloilo is among questionable projects in the province for its structural issues and safety concerns. 

However, addressing the problem did not happen, according to resident Joemarie Jalbuena.

“Ayusin rin sana nila kasi ang mga flood control project iniimbestihagan. Sana dito, ayusin rin nila,” Jalbuena stressed.

Prior to the “Trillion Peso March” on Sunday, September 21, 2025, various groups staged a protest right below Aganan Flyover, deemed a symbol of alleged massive corruption.

The groups demanded that the flyover be investigated as well and individuals behind the uncompleted project be prosecuted.

“Ang Aganan Flyover isang buhay na simbolo ng malalang kurapsyon hindi lang sa Lungsod ng Iloilo kungdi sa buong probinsya,” Elmer Forro, seretary general of Bayan Panay, said.

Prior to the protest action, the Pavia Municipal Police asked assurance from protesters to maintain peace and order while airing sentiments.

“Nag-coordinate rin tayo sa MDRRMO [Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office], sa ating traffic management, nag-request rin tayo sa IPPO [Iloilo Provincial Police Office] para sa security,” said Captain Ritz Presquito, chief of Pavia Municipal Police Station.

For the Trillion Peso March on Sunday, September 21, 2025, the Iloilo City Police called on protesters to maintain peace and order, especially that the city’s “No Permit, No Rally” policy has been put aside.

“Let’s make it peaceful and orderly. Magde-deploy tayo ng mga personnel upang magtaguyod ng peace and order, at the same time protection nila,” according to Major Shella Sangrines, spokesperson of the Iloilo City Police Office.

In Bacolod City, operators and drivers, or members of transport groups, staged a rally in front of the public plaza.

The protesters demanded accountability and the prosecution of individuals involved in deemed anomalous flood control projects.

The transport groups highlighted that “massive corruption” is one of the causes of problems hounding the Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) Modernization Program.

“I-stop ang korapsyon sa ating DOTr [Department of Transportation] sa modernization program. At dapat ibalik na kung ano ang nararapat para sa amin,” said Rudy Catedral, president of Bacod-Manibela.
