Protests against the President of the Philippines / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Protests against President Bongbong Marcos have occurred mainly in the Philippines even before[1] the inauguration of the president on June 30, 2022. Protest have been mostly conducted by progressive and opposition groups due to the violent and plunderous legacy of the Marcos family during the martial law era and throughout the rule of his father, former President Ferdinand Marcos;[2] unpaid real-estate taxes;[1] alleged electoral fraud during the 2022 presidential elections;[1] instances of fake news and historical distortion;[1] cases of human rights violations such as extra-judicial killings and the continuing war on drugs;[3] and other social issues.[4][5] Protests against the president have also included grievances against Vice President Sara Duterte[6] as well as seeking of accountability from his predecessor Rodrigo Duterte.[7] Mobilizations have also been held by Filipino-Americans and other solidarity and progressive groups abroad such as in United States, Australia, and Canada.[5]
