"This is a fight for justice, a fight for genuine change, and a fight for the ordinary people who deserve to be heard. it is time to end the dynasty that has ruled like a saw, cutting through generations. Corruption must end—not only in flood control projects but in all sectors of government," said Jaime Paglinawan, Bayan chairperson at the Fuente Osmeña rally.

From morning until late afternoon, protesters marched along Osmeña Boulevard, Colon Street, and P. del Rosario before regrouping at Fuente Osmeña.

Members of Maisug Cebu led chants of "BBM Resign!" while progressive organizations such as Partido Lakas ng Masa (PLM) Cebu demanded that all corrupt officials be prosecuted.

Victor Sumampong Jr. of PLM said: "Convict them all and end the political dynasty. The corruption was not revealed by the President, but was exposed because of the disaster that struck our people."

"Lahat ng korap managot. Pag nanawagan ka ng resign specific kang BBM. May implication na pag nag-resign si BBM ay, by succession, si Sara mopuli. So, our group stance is convict all, at resign all," said Teody Navea, chairperson of the Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino (BMP) Cebu.

Leading in the march is an improvised prison cell with "prisoners" clad in orange suits with nametags namely; BBM, Duterte, Alcantara, Romualdez, Estrada, and Villanueva, whom they tagged as the culprits of the flood control scandal that rocked the nation.
