The Philippines is bracing for major rallies later today in Manila and Quezon City as anger grows over a massive corruption scandal involving flood control projects. The issue has struck a nerve in one of Asia’s most disaster-prone nations. Protests began in September, but continue after Typhoon Kalmaegi killed at least 232 people last week, with more than a hundred still missing. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said many of the 37 lawmakers and business figures implicated could be jailed by Christmas, but his promises have so far failed to ease tensions.
