under MECQ. "Labor Day should honor workers but the PNP is insulting us by depriving us of our right to air out grievances. Liwasang Bonifacio is a freedom park and the police should back off. The protests will push through despite this harassment." said KMU chair Elmer Labog

Police presence were also monitored on roads leading to Liwasan and in communities around Metro Manila. We call on the people to condemn these acts. An outright disrespect to Labor Day. We must fight back.

Kaya ba sila nandiyan dshil may gusto din silang igunita? Gusto ba nila ipaalala na dapat .as malaki sahod at benepisyo ng nars at guro kaysa sundalo at pulis? Ayaw na nila maging amo ay mga political dynasties? Ayaw na nila sa commander-in-chief na maka-China?

Protests should not be banned. Right yan ng mga tao. Especially madami din talagang work force na mababa pa din ang sahod like our hcw. Pero let's protest online na lng, I'll be with you. Di kasi maiiwasan na magkahawaan ng covid sa physical protests.
