Duterte, panagutin! Marcos, singilin!
Hindi dapat tabunan ng iskandalo at katiwalian ng mga Duterte ang katotohanan na maging ang paksyong Marcos Jr. ay batbat ng korapsyon. Sa katunayan, P1.3 trilyon ang Presidential Pork Barrel na isinuksok ng rehimen sa 2025 National Budget. Nanawagan ang Kilusang Mayo Uno na dapat ding managot si Marcos Jr. sa tuloy-tuloy niyang pangungurakot na…

RESOURCE: Polyeto para sa Araw ng Masang Anakpawis
Kumusta ang manggagawang Pilipino? Sadsad sa gutom at kahirapan ang manggagawang Pilipino. ‘Di sumasapat ang ₱645 na minimum wage sa lingguhang pagtaas ng presyo ng bigas at langis.
