Answer (1)
The correct answer is: b. 500,000The Million People March was a protest against the misuse of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), also known as the pork barrel, in the Philippines. It was held on August 26, 2013, at Luneta Park in Manila. While it was called the “Million People March,” the crowd didn’t actually reach one million people.Estimates from police and event organizers showed that around 500,000 people attended the protest. Despite not hitting a million, the event was still a powerful display of public outrage against corruption. It showed that many Filipinos were willing to speak out and take a stand against misuse of public funds.
