This recent development serves as irrefutable proof that the people’s collective power can shake even the Senate.
Marcos Jr has only isolated himself even more from the people and even from his fragmented clique. The widespread transport strikes and protests in recent months, and the legislators’ response to this, clearly indicate growing dissatisfaction with his administration and his anti-people policies.
We continue to call for the complete junking of the modernization program. Should the Marcos Jr government continue to turn a deaf ear to this clamor, it’s likely that more militant protests and strikes will follow.
