PNOY AND GMA: JUST THE SAME – BAYAN
By: Owen S. Bayog
Bagong Alyansang Makabayan-Negros (BAYAN-NEGROS) held a “People’s State of the Nation Address” along Araneta Street yesterday afternoon to slam the present Aquino administration. Militants gathered and braved the rain showers for the protest action which was participated by various sectoral organizations and present the “People’s Agenda” and call on to the people to push for the legitimate issues such as Joblessness, Land and Rights.
Ronald Ian Evidente of Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) slams the Aquino administration for the electoral promises of President Aquino during his campaign to alleviate the condition of the workers and the people. Evidente pointed out that instead of national legislation for the P125 wage increase – the workers got P12 raise under the present government.
The ever increasing prices of Oil and other commodities is felt and it is the people who are suffering due to the inaction of the present Government, Evidente added.
Sectoral Organizations presented their respective issues and gave the present administration of Aquino a failing grade. Militant flashed placards which spelled “FAILURE” and burnt down an effigy of President Aquino and the United States of America symbolizing Aquino being subservient to foreign rule.
Rev. Fr. Romeo Tagud, Secretary General of the Promotion of Church People’s Response (PCPR) likened the consequence of Aquino to an ordinary student who have failing grades – “The people have spoken and united in saying that President Benigno Aqunio III failed to the serve the interest of the Filipino people”, If President Aquino continues to do so – he will be kicked out from power”, Tagud said.osb
