"Kaunting panahon nalang lalaya ng ang sambayanang Pilipino sa kahirapan! Sa panahong ito, sa panahon ni PBBM kinakailangan ilabas na ang kayamanang nakatago sa Bangko Sentral na ang tagapagmana ay sambayanang Pilipino," said Prince Gilbert Salvador, the leader of the group who introduced himself as an attorney.
"Abogado tayo sa sarili nating bayan dahil ang aming bitbit ay konstitusyon," Salvador remarked.
Salvador said they are carrying a document proving that there is indeed money for Filipinos hidden at the central bank.
As of this writing, the group has yet to release a statement on where they got the information.
The group said they were not going to leave BSP until a bank official reached out to them.
