The mayor of Manila has threatened to \u201cthrow the book\u201d at rioters after over 200 people were arrested<\/strong><\/p>\n

An anti-graft protest in the Philippines became violent on Sunday as some activists clashed with riot police on the streets of Manila.<\/p>\n

Officers used water cannons to disperse stone-throwing demonstrators, according to footage from the scene. Health officials said dozens of people were treated for injuries, and the authorities reported finding the body of an unidentified man with a stab wound at one protest site.<\/p>\n

At a press conference on Monday, Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla said 216 people had been arrested, including 89 minors. Of those detained, 24 were 14 years old or younger.<\/p>\n

Remulla said rioters “crossed the line”<\/em> by throwing a Molotov cocktail at officers, which sparked the violence. Domagoso vowed to “throw the book”<\/em> at those responsible and prosecute as many as possible.<\/p>\n

The clashes followed largely peaceful demonstrations against so-called “ghost projects”<\/em> meant to create anti-flooding infrastructure for the country. The anti-graft movement was supported by the Catholic Church, which is highly influential in the overwhelmingly Christian country, and endorsed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.<\/p>\n

Marcos flagged nearly 10,000 flood-control projects as suspicious in his annual state of the nation address in late July. The government estimates that alleged corruption tied to the projects caused at least $2 billion in economic damage between 2023 and 2025.<\/p>\n
