In partnership with Philippine Human Rights Alliance KARAPATAN, we are collecting donations to provide urgent support to the bail fund of protestors arrested during the ongoing anti-corruption protests in the Philippines. All funds raised through this page will go towards supporting the bail funds.
On September 21 in Mendiola, the entrance to the president’s Palace, hundreds of mostly young and urban poor protesters were met with brutal acts of dispersal from the police. According to reports, at least 216 people were arrested, dozens were injured, and one was killed during the crackdown. Many of those detained are children (80) including a nine (9) year old boy and in urgent need of medical attention.
The International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines stands in full solidarity with the Filipino people who rose up on September 21, 2025, marking the 53rd anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law under Ferdinand Marcos Sr., to demand accountability and an end to the Marcos Jr. regime’s corruption and repression.
