Hundreds of people march to a protest rally at the Philippine financial district in suburban Manila on October 4, 2013, carrying a huge golden pig to condemn politicians for their misuse of their "pork barrel" funds, referring to money allocated to congressmen and other officials supposedly for their pet development projects but which often are siphoned away for corruption. This is the third such rally against the pork barrel issue organised partly through social media since August. But in this rally, there are more placards and banners condemning President Benigno Aquino for alleged tolerance of this corruption. AFP PHOTO / Jay DIRECTO
