Wazzup Pilipinas!?
On January 18, 2025, the People Power Monument in EDSA witnessed an electrifying convergence of voices, passions, and ideals. Filipinos from all walks of life— online influencers and content creators, social media advocates, and digital warriors—gathered under the banner of the Impeach Sara Movement, demanding justice and accountability from Vice President Sara Duterte.
Amid allegations of corruption, misuse of public funds, and betrayal of public trust, this rally marked a defining moment in the nation’s fight against impunity. It wasn't just a protest; it was a modern-day People Power movement, breathing life into the Filipino spirit of unity and resistance against tyranny.
A Call to Action
The movement, spearheaded by the Bunyog Party-list and a coalition of social media influencers, called for the impeachment of Vice President Duterte over her alleged mismanagement of ₱612.5 million in confidential funds. Protesters also cited concerns about her governance and public statements that undermined trust in her leadership.
"Let the impeachment proceedings continue," a protester declared. "This isn’t just about one leader—it’s about showing every public official that no one is above the law. Justice must prevail!"
The Digital Army: Vloggers and Influencers Take Center Stage
One of the most compelling aspects of the rally was the unprecedented involvement of vloggers, bloggers, and social media advocates who used their platforms to amplify the movement's message. With millions of followers combined, these digital content creators became the voice of the people, calling for transparency and good governance.
Prominent among the supporters was Wazzup Pilipinas, alongside a remarkable list of vloggers and online advocates who stood united for a singular goal: to make leaders accountable.

A Spirit of Resistance
Echoing the defiance of the 1986 People Power Revolution, protesters emphasized the importance of collective action in ensuring leaders are held accountable. The rally served as a platform to highlight the disparity in the justice system, where minor offenders often face harsher consequences than those accused of large-scale corruption.
"Why do we imprison those who steal coins while protecting those who plunder millions?" a speaker at the rally asked, drawing cheers from the crowd. "Our laws are not meant to favor the powerful—they are meant to serve everyone."
The Stakes for the Nation
The outcome of this political saga will undoubtedly shape the Philippines’ future. The Impeach Sara Movement is not merely a call for Duterte’s accountability—it is a rallying cry for systemic reform. It seeks to send a strong message to all government officials: that public office is a public trust, and no one is exempt from scrutiny.
EDSA’s Legacy Continues
As the rally concluded, the atmosphere at EDSA was electric, charged with hope and determination. The people’s voices had been heard, and the movement had ignited a fire that could not easily be extinguished.
This is more than a protest—it is a movement that embodies the Filipino people’s fight for justice, transparency, and accountability. It is a battle for the nation’s soul, a reminder that democracy thrives when its citizens demand more from their leaders.
For now, the world watches as the Filipino people, armed with courage and unity, once again take a stand for what is right. The spirit of People Power lives on.
