They were among the personalities that voiced out their opinions on the streets.
On Sunday, September 21, the Trillion Peso March brought Filipinos from various walks of life to the People Power Monument in Quezon City.
During which, many public personalities joined in the call for lasting change amid the ongoing scandal on the anomalous flood control projects gripping the nation.
Among them are ‘It’s Showtime’ hosts Vice Ganda, Anne Curtis, Darren Espanto, Ion Perez, Jackie Gonzaga, as well as other stars like Catriona Gray, Donny Pangilinan, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Cristine Reyes, and more.
These stars marched with others and raised their placards calling out the major issue.
Vice, for one, brought with her the sign that redefined the meaning of DPWH as the Department na Puro Walang Hiya.
The Unkabogable Phenomenal Box-Office Superstar also did not hold back when she went up the stage at the venue and talked in front of thousands that joined the Trillion Peso March.
In a strongly-worded speech, the TV host-comedian berated the corrupt officials and businessmen involved in the scheme and gave them a simple, striking message multiple times: “Mga p*tan*ina niyo!“
“Tapos na ang panahon ng mga mababait at resilient! Ang mga mababait, gina*o! Ang mga resilient, tinaranta*o!” she added.
Vice also called these corrupt officials as “hayop,” and noted that she cannot be kind to these people who have stolen public funds through their anomalies.
She also mentioned President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in her speech and challenged the chief executive to have the “thieves sent to jail.”
Vice said, “Kung gusto mong magkaroon ng magandang legasiya ang pangalan mo… ipakulong mo lahat ng magnanakaw!“
She continued, “Nakatingin kami sa’yo Pangulong Bongbong Marcos at inaasahan ka namin, hindi dahil sa idol ka namin, kundi dahil sineswelduhan ka namin at inaasahan naming tutuparin mo ang gusto naming mga employer mo!“
Aside from them, also seen at the same venue earlier in the day were the likes of actor Elijah Canlas, Rhian Ramos, along with politicians Rep. Chel Diokno, Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, and Sen. Risa Hontiveros.
