WHERE is your yes vote?
President Benigno Aquino III has been challenged to prove that he is really sincere in the P125 across-the-board salary increase of the daily paid workers.
Based on the records of the House of Representatives during the 13th Congress, Aquino, then representing 2nd District of Tarlac, voted in favor of the House Bill 374 or the P125 wage increase for private workers.
Anakpawis Rep. Rafael Mariano said President Aquino should be consistent on his stand and therefore should certify as urgent the bill which was re-filed by militant lawmakers in this Congress.
“Certifying House Bill 375 as urgent coupled with a decisive party whip on his allies in Congress is all the Filipino working class wanted to hear and see from Aquino on or before Labor Day,” Mariano said.
“Failure to do so will further reveal Aquino’s pro-capitalist character that was clearly demonstrated by the recent Malacañang order on the Philippine Airlines (PAL) labor dispute,” he added.
