00:00 Hundreds of Filipinos gather in front of the Banco Central ng Pilipinas in Manila on Wednesday
00:06 morning May 8 to claim the supposed hidden wealth intended for the public.
00:11 Under the heat, people, mostly elderly, clutching umbrellas, march from the Carino Grandstand
00:15 to the BSP building along Mabini Street.
00:18 They reportedly come from different provinces across the country.
00:22 Among them was Gilbert Langres, who alleges the central bank is hiding 19.5 trillion pesos.
00:28 He holds a document, supposedly a 2005 certification from the Treasury Department, but he is evasive
00:34 when asked about the document's origins.
00:36 Addressing the massive gathering outside its office, the BSP clarifies, "It does not directly
00:42 distribute money to the people."
00:44 Hidden wealth from the so-called "Taliano Gold" is one myth that surrounded the Marcas
00:48 family.
00:49 It is supposedly hidden in the BSP.
