Catriona Gray Speaks Out Against Corruption at the Second Trillion Peso March

November 30, 2025 marked the second wave of the Trillion Peso March—a rally against corruption in the nation's flood control projects. Coinciding with Bonifacio Day, the movement took place at the People Power Monument in Quezon City.

One of the many people who went on stage to speak out was Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, who was also present during the first wave of protests last September 21.

"Today, we stand here as Filipinos who are tired—tired of watching as corruption steals food from our tables, steals medicine from our hospitals, classrooms from our children, and safety from our communities," began Catriona.

She then revealed what scares her the most—people who forget. "Many are starting to forget why we are angry. People have gone silent not because they do not care, but because they have lost the belief that change will ever come."

Reminding everyone that corruption wins every time we stay silent, Catriona urged people to take action. "Today, we demand action. To the ombudsman: file the cases now. To the senators: suspend the senators implicated, and to the congress: pass the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill because power should not be inherited. It should be earned through service of the people."

To close her speech, Catriona reminded everyone that we should never stop remembering what was done to us and to not move on until the right people be held accountable. "We are the generation that will not let corruption win," she ended.
