FACT CHECK: Iglesia ni Cristo EDSA rally drew thousands, not millions, of participants 03.07.2026

A Facebook post from the page Bisdak Pilipinas, which has 165,000 followers, falsely claimed that millions of people joined the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) protest on June 30 in support of Senator Rodante Marcoleta. The post, which gained over 23,000 reactions and 5,000 shares, featured a drone shot from Sonshine Media Network International and a narrator stating that the crowd had reached one million. However, this claim is inaccurate. According to the Quezon City Police District, attendance peaked at just over 15,000 people at 9 p.m. on June 30, with about 10,000 attendees on the second day, July 1. The rally, held without a permit, caused heavy traffic along EDSA and White Plains.
