Catriona Gray Leads Prayer Against Corruption at Trillion Peso March

Catriona Gray, Miss Universe 2018, once again took a prominent role in the anti-corruption movement by delivering a heartfelt prayer at the Trillion Peso March held at the People Power Monument in EDSA on Sunday. In a video circulated online, Gray was seen invoking divine intervention to expose and hold accountable those involved in corruption.

"Panginoon, we lift up our beloved country of the Philippines to you. Reveal every hidden corruption. Ilabas ninyo ang katotohanang tinatago," she prayed.

She further beseeched for justice to prevail, emphasizing the need for leaders who embody integrity and courage. "Let the full weight of justice fall on those who betrayed this nation and stole from its people, not for revenge, but for righteousness. Raise up leaders, Lord, with integrity, courage, and conviction," Gray stated.

Having participated in a previous anti-corruption rally in September, Gray reiterated her demand for transparency and responsibility in governance. She appealed, "Bigyan n'yo po kami ng mga pinunong may puso at tunay na malasakit. Strengthen every Filipino who longs for justice. Restore truth, accountability, and justice. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen."

Beyond prayers, Gray urged protesters to maintain vigilance, reminding them that the fight against corruption requires persistent public awareness until offenders face consequences. "And to those who think the Filipino spirit is weak, nagkakamali kayo. Sinasabi nila na Filipinos have a short memory, it's easy for us to forget and forgive," she remarked.

"But believe us when we say we will not forget what you did. At walang magmo-move on hangga't walang nananagot. We are the generation who will not let corruption win," Gray passionately concluded.

The protest drew other prominent figures as well, including actors Elijah Canlas and Pokwang, who joined in expressing their call for justice.

The Trillion Peso March symbolizes the persistent public demand for accountability amidst ongoing concerns over large-scale corruption allegations in the country. Gray’s involvement highlights the continuing engagement of public personalities in social issues affecting the nation.
