"With the work conditions and the additional work that teachers have to accomplish everyday, clear guidelines on effective methods of classroom management would be a great help for teachers to not get charged of violating RA 7610."
“Upholding worker's welfare and rights is what we do.”
“It's the low salary that is pushing teachers to go out in the streets and protest.”
Elements of the Cabuyao PNP, led by Lt. Col. Zeric Soriano, employees from the Cabuyao City Hall, along with hired goons from NutriAsia arrived at noon to demand the dismantling of the picketline.
“Although they are different companies with different forms of struggle, the fact remains that both [NutriAsia and Pepmaco] have committed grave transgressions against their workers.”
“They say we committed arson because we used some wood to cook our rice. That’s ridiculous. And robbery! The case said we stole a pallet worth P100,000. Let me ask you this: if the police were chasing you down, would you bother stealing a pallet? What would you even do with a pallet?”
In an increasingly impersonal world dominated by capital and profit margins, strikes shatter that illusion and remind us of the fundamental relations between people and things. Strikes are the tears shed at the sound of workers gaining their rights. They are the words “Lumalaban pa rin” said with the purest conviction, by workers who live, breathe, and have families to feed.
“In all the years that Monde Nissin operated and exploited workers, we were the only ones to launch a strike, and we did it twice.”
“This strike will not end until we are regularized.”
"We are stronger together than when we are apart."
“For as long as the Duterte regime looks down on the working class and puts foreign and capitalist interests first, these crises will not stop.”
The arrested workers are currently detained in the Calamba City Jail. As of press time, there are yet no details on the cases filed against them.

“[Article 280 of the] Labor Code clearly states that we should be regular employees from Day 1 because the work we’re doing is necessary and desirable to Monde Nissin."
"We are very hopeful that the workers' fight will someday lead to victory as we unite with other sectors. This night of gathering and sharing our struggle proves that the state of workers in the country is not improving. Through this event, we find support in each other struggles.”
Progressives said these killings were carried out under Memorandum 32, where more military forces were deployed in three provinces, including Negros.
Ang patuloy na pagpapayaman at pagpapalakas ng kapangyarihan ng mga kapitalista ay nangyayari sa patuloy na pagpapahirap at pagpapahina ng mga manggagawa. Ang tanong sa puntong ito: Nagtatagumpay kaya sila? Hindi po.
Pansinin ang sunud-sunod na welga sa iba’t ibang lugar ng Pilipinas. Iisa ang mga panawagan, iba-iba lang ang pangalan ng mga opisina’t pagawaan. Iisa rin ang solusyon ng kapitalista’t pamahalaan, iba-iba nga lang ang porma: Karahasan.
