Outcomes of the Anti-Corruption Movement: The Philippines' Anti-Corruption Movement in 2013 and the conflict inside and outside of the government

This study looks at the anti-corruption movement’s outcome: creating a new conflict inside and outside of the government. The "2013 Anti-Corruption Movement" was a protest movement that began in the wake of a corruption scandal reported by a local newspaper and included online opinion pieces and protests by citizens calling for the ouster of corruption. Some of the movement's participants eventually called for the government to oust corruption by organizing the Million People March/MPM. The movement was mainly composed of the middle class, with nearly 100,000 people attending the protest rallies, as well as civilian groups, and leftist political organizations, both extreme and moderate. Prior studies and various news media outlets praised the protest events for their success in mobilizing a large and diverse population. However, the appearance of the MPM created a new conflict inside the 2013 anti-corruption movement and in the Liberal administration‘s coalition based on whether to criticize the president, which has been overlooked. Therefore, this study will analyze the original dataset of interview data and article materials to determine what kind of new conflict it was and show how should we understand this conflict.
