The Catholic Church in the Philippines is mobilizing for a massive nationwide demonstration against corruption, with sixty-seven dioceses and archdioceses confirmed to participate in the sequel to the Trillion Peso March on November 30, 2025.
Nationwide Church Mobilization
According to data released by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines - National Secretariat for Social Action, Justice, and Peace (CBCP-Nassa), the protest will span across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. This represents a significant majority of the country's 87 total dioceses and archdioceses.
Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo, chairman of CBCP-Nassa, confirmed the widespread participation. "These arch/dioceses have confirmed their participation in the Trillion Peso March as arch/diocesan provincial prayer rallies on November 30," Bagaforo stated.
Comprehensive Diocese Participation
The mobilization includes major ecclesiastical territories across the archipelago. In Metro Manila, participants will include the Archdiocese of Manila, Diocese of Cubao, Diocese of Kalookan, Diocese of Pasig, Diocese of Novaliches, and Diocese of Parañaque.
Luzon shows strong participation with numerous dioceses including Archdiocese of Caceres, Diocese of Malolos, Diocese of Imus, Archdiocese of Lipa, and Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan, among many others.
Visayas regions will be represented by the Archdiocese of Jaro, Diocese of Bacolod, Archdiocese of Cebu, and Diocese of Dumaguete, while Mindanao participation includes Archdiocese of Cotabato, Archdiocese of Davao, and Archdiocese of Zamboanga.
Building on Previous Success
The upcoming event serves as a sequel to the first Trillion Peso March held on September 21, 2025, which marked the 53rd Martial Law commemoration. Thousands participated in peaceful demonstrations across Iloilo City and Western Visayas during that initial protest.
The previous mobilization saw various sectors condemning corruption in flood control projects while demanding justice and accountability from government officials. The November 30 event is scheduled to take place at the People Power Monument in Quezon City, symbolically connecting the anti-corruption movement to the historic EDSA revolution.
This unprecedented level of Church involvement signals growing institutional concern about corruption issues in the country and represents one of the largest coordinated religious-led protests in recent Philippine history.
