The Filipino workers and people are glad that workers’ and people’s champ Rep. Manny Pacquiao is on our side and is “ready to rumble” for a significant wage hike. He is a most welcome addition to our ranks in our struggle for an immediate relief amidst the soaring prices of basic goods and services, especially petroleum products.

On behalf of the workers and poor people, on behalf of the KMU, I say to Cong Manny: Welcome to the wage fight!

Masayang masaya ang mga manggagawa at mamamayan dahil kasama na namin si Rep. Manny Pacquiao sa laban para sa makabuluhang dagdag-sahod. Mahalagang dagdag siya sa aming hanay sa pakikibaka para sa kagyat na ginhawa sa gitna ng nagtataasaang presyo ng mga batayang bilihin at serbisyo, lalo na ng langis.

Sa ngalan ng mga manggagawa at maralita, sa ngalan ng KMU: Welcome sa laban para sa dagdag-sahod, Manny!

For years and years, the Filipino workers and people were denied of a significant wage hike. The recently-approved P22 Cost of Living Allowance in Metro Manila failed to give us a breathing spell from the sky rocketing prices of basic goods and services. Manny is joining us today just two days before the “National Day of Workers’ Condemnation Against the Meager COLA” on June 16. We are calling on the Filipino workers and people: hold protests in your factories and communities, condemn the approval of a meager COLA and call for a significant wage hike!

Maraming taong pinagkaitan ang mga manggagawa at mamamayan ng makabuluhang dagdag-sahod. Ni hindi nagbigay ng ginhawa ang P22 Cost of Living Allowance sa Metro Manila sa nagtataasang presyo ng mga batayang bilihin at serbisyo. Nakikiisa si Manny sa atin ngayon dalawang araw bago ang “Pambansang Araw ng Pagkondena ng mga Manggagawa sa Barya-Baryang COLA” sa June 16. Panawagan namin sa mga manggagawa at mamamayan: magprotesta sa inyong mga pagawaan at komunidad, kondenahin ang pag-apruba sa barya-baryang COLA at manawagan ng makabuluhang dagdag-sahod!

In adding his voice to workers and poor people calling for a P125 across-the-board wage hike, Manny, with his immense popularity, is amplifying our clamor. By taking up the call, he is making a big step in the fight against poverty, which he has embraced as his biggest fight. He is showing his unity with workers and poor people suffering from starvation wages, regionalized wages, contractualization, hunger and poverty. He is being true to his humble origins as a poor odd jobber and boxer from Sarangani.

Idinadagdag ni Manny ang kanyang tinig sa mga manggagawa at maralitang nananawagan ng P125 across-the-board na dagdag-sahod. Dahil sa kanyang popularidad, pinapalakas niya ang aming sigaw. Malaking hakbang ang pagyakap niya sa aming panawagan sa kanyang paglaban sa kahirapan, na niyakap niya bilang pinakamalaking laban. Nakikipagkaisa siya sa mga manggagawa at maralita na nagdurusa sa barat na sahod, kontraktwalisasyon, kagutuman at kahirapan. Ipinapakita niyang tapat siya sa kanyang pinagmulan bilang maralita ring trabahador at boksingero mula Sarangani.

We in KMU are also happy because Manny has long been the idol of our chairperson emeritus Crispin “Ka Bel” Beltran, who, like the Filipino workers and people, always watched his fights and rejoiced whenever he prevails over his opponents. which he competently led until his last days. Had Ka Bel been alive today, he would be jumping in joy today because Manny Pacquiao has joined the workers’ and people’s fight for a P125 across-the-board wage hike.

Kami sa KMU ay masaya rin dahil matagal na siyang idolo ng aming dating tagapangulong si Crispin “Ka Bel” Beltran na, tulad ng mga manggagawa at mamamayan, ay laging nanonood ng laban niya at nagbubunyi kapag nilalampaso niya ang kalaban.. Kung buhay siya ngayon, nagtatatalon na siguro siya sa tuwa dahil sumama na si Manny Pacquiao sa laban ng mga manggagawa at mamamayan para sa P125 across-the-board na dagdag-sahod.

Again, to Manny: Welcome to the workers’ and people’s fight for a significant wage hike! May this be the start of an enduring partnership in ‘ knocking out” poverty and improving the lot of the Filipino workers and people.

Muli, kay Manny: Welcome sa laban ng mga manggagawa at mamamayan para sa makabuluhang dagdag-sahod! Nawa’y maging simula ito ng matagalang pagkakaibigan sa paglaban sa kahirapan at pagpapaunlad sa kabuhayan ng mga manggagawa at mamamayan.

P125 across-the-board na dagdag-sahod, ngayon na!
Makabuluhang dagdag-sahod, ipaglaban!
Mabuhay si Cong. Manny Pacquiao!
Mabuhay ang mga manggagawa at sambayanang Pilipino!
