Taking into consideration the speed and extent of media coverage, both local and international, that the rally generated, it did not need three days to achieve the goal of sending the message that we are calling for justice, accountability, transparency, and peace.
We thank our friends from the media, both local and international, who covered the event and spread the message of the rally.
We also express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to all our brethren who came to the "Rally for Transparency and a Better Democracy" at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila which started on Sunday, November 16, 2025.
On the second day of the rally, on Monday, November 17, more of our brethren coming from the provinces arrived at the rally venue. This is in answer to the call of the Church Administration to lend our voices to the growing public clamor for government to decisively address the massive corruption that has already affected the country's economy and international standing.
This is also among the fundamental rights granted to citizens of the country - - the right to free speech and peaceful assembly.
We thank all those who made sure that the rally was peaceful, orderly, and disciplined, including those from the Philippine National Police, the national government, and the Manila City government. We sincerely appreciate their sacrifices.
From the very start, we have stressed that we are against moves that are against the Constitution.
We started peacefully and we ended peacefully.
For this, we thank the Lord God and we return all glory to Him.
