The protests against Rodrigo Duterte, the 16th President of the Philippines, began on November 18, 2016, following the burial of late president and dictator Ferdinand Marcos, whom Duterte supported.[1] These series of protests are mostly conducted by left-wing groups and other opponent figures mainly due to ongoing war on drugs, declaration of martial law in Mindanao and employment issues such as contractual term being applied by the company and the inflation due to Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Act. Other causes such as the government's response to the COVID-19 in the country, the passage of Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 and the denial of franchise for ABS-CBN by the House of Representatives–an issue that prompted the celebrities to join the criticism against the government.
