Meanwhile, Elijah Canlas joined Chel Diokno on stage to call for an end to corruption, highlighting the issues of ghost flood-control projects and alleged contractor anomalies.
“Tama na! Sobra na! Ikulong na! Lahat ng kasangkot dapat managot. Niloloko lang nila tayo,” he cried “Ibalik niyo na lang ang pera ng taong bayan!” he stated.

In Makati, Dingdong Dantes, together with Jerald Napoles, Kim Atienza, Benjamin Alves, and Kim Molina, participated in an anti-corruption running event.
“Not our usual Sunday run. Today, our small community gathered not just for distance, but with prayer and intention. We hoped. We dreamed. For a corrupt-free Philippines. For accountability from those who have stolen from us. And for those attending the big rallies, we lifted them up in prayer as well,” Dingdong wrote in a post. “We each have different ways of expressing our grievances and hopes. Today, this was ours.”
Miss Philippines Earth 2025 Joy Barcoma and actress Jodi Sta. Maria also joined the protest in Luneta Park.
“Gusto lang natin may managot sa nangyari, Hindi pwede araw-araw ay pasko!” Jodi Sta Maria said in an interview.
