Various labor organizations and progressive groups led by Akbayan party-list Rep. Percival Cendaña and president Rafaela David march across the streets of Manila on Labor Day, May 1, 2025, to appeal for the P200 wage hike, among other workers’ concerns.
They hold banners bearing messages such as “Nakabubuhay na Sahod, Ipaglaban!” (Fight for a Living Wage), highlighting the workforce’s longstanding demand for better pay and working conditions amid rising inflation and other economic issues.
