THREE labor leaders who are senatorial aspirants urged the Philippine government not to be subservient to any foreign superpower to maintain an independent foreign policy for the country.
Moreover, Espiritu stressed that it is also wrong for the Philippines to allow American military presence here, which would then provoke China to increase their defense posture in the disputed seas due to their perception of American military encirclement of China with so many US military bases in the Philippines, Japan, South Korea and Washington’s QUAD alliance with India, Japan and Australia.
Colmenares, Espiritu and Labog also proposed giving immediate tax breaks, subsidies for workers’ salaries and other additional support for micro, small and medium-scale enterprises which provide the bulk of employment in the Philippine economy. They lament the fact that government loans and “ayuda” or help for MSMEs “are not enough”.
