The Million People March at Luneta was the first of a series of protests in the Philippines calling for the total abolition of the Pork Barrel fund, which were triggered by public anger over the Priority Development Assistance Fund scam. Initial calls circulated through social media (mainly on Facebook and Twitter (now X)) to convene a protest on August 26, 2013, at Luneta Park in Manila as well as other cities nationwide and overseas.
