Thousands of Filipinos protest against corruption
None
Tens thousands of Filipinos have gathered in protest at a Manila park to call for the scrapping of a corruption-tainted development fund that allows lawmakers to allocate government money for projects in their districts.
A government audit of the fund found last week that $141 million allocated over a three-year period was released to questionable aid groups and ghost projects identified by lawmakers as beneficiaries. (AP)
