Workers Will Wear Red Armbands Today

In response to the call of Magdalo rebel soldiers, militant workers, drivers, urban poor organizations and other allied groups such as Bayang Nagkakaisa para Palayasin si Arroyo will flood to the streets wearing red armbands on today, according to a labor group.

“Pulang bigkis sa braso ang simbolo ng aming pagkamuhi sa walang pusong pamahalaan at patuloy na pag-tetengang-kawali nito sa matagal na naming hiling na legislated 125 wage hike,” said Kilusang Mayo Uno national chair Elmer “Ka Bong” Labog.

Meanwhile, Bayan Muna recently announced that a jogging protest dubbed as “Takbo Kontra Balikatan” will be held on Sunday, February 19, 7 a.m., in line with the joint RP-US Balikatan exercise in Jolo, Sulu. Converging point will be at Luneta along Roxas Boulevard and will proceed to US Embassy where a brief program will be held.
