The mayor of Manila has threatened to "throw the book" at rioters after over 200 people were arrestedAn anti-graft protest in the Philippines turned violent on Sunday as some activists clashed with riot police on the streets of Manila. Remulla said rioters "crossed the line" by throwing a Molotov cocktail at officers, which sparked the violence. Domagoso vowed to "throw the book" at those responsible and prosecute as many as possible. The government estimates that alleged corruption tied to the projects caused at least $2 billion in economic damage between 2023 and 2025. Sunday's demonstration coincided with the anniversary of the 1972 declaration of martial law in the Philippines by Ferdinand Marcos, whose son now occupies the office.
