Philippines State of the Nation: President Marcos Jr addressed the nation amid protests

In the Philippines, President Ferdinand Marcos Junior ordered the shutdown of all online casino businesses, most of which are Chinese-owned, during his State of the Nation Address on Monday. It comes amid a high-profile investigation that has uncovered human trafficking, financial fraud, and other crimes. But while it’s a move prompted by public clamor, thousands of protesters outside Congress say they want Marcos to address the high cost of living above everything else.

Al Jazeera’s Barnaby Lo reports from Manila.
