MANILA, Philippines — Although Nov. 30 is no longer a holiday, labor groups will still commemorate Bonifacio Day with mass protest actions.
Members of different labor organizations led by the Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) are marching to Mendiola in Manila on Thursday.
“We will mark the 160th birthday of our national hero, Andres Bonifacio, to push our campaign for wage hike, jobs, public services, rights and freedom,” the KMU said in a statement.
The group said workers from different areas in Metro Manila will assemble along T.M. Kalaw Avenue then march to the gates of Malacañang.
