Highlighting Key Concerns

The rally’s message was clear: it’s time for leaders to stop focusing on political infighting and prioritize solutions to real problems. One major concern raised was the surging cost of basic commodities, which continues to weigh heavily on Filipino families. INC leaders urged the government to create better programs and services that would directly benefit the people.

Political Context

The rally also expressed support for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s stance against the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte. The President has previously warned that such political moves would waste time and resources, diverting attention from improving the lives of ordinary Filipinos.

President Marcos, in December, remarked, “What will happen if somebody files an impeachment? It will tie down the House; it will tie down the Senate. It will just take up all our time and for what? None of this will help improve a single Filipino’s life.”
