Malaya Movement USA expresses its solidarity with the March 19-21 transport strike of 10,000 drivers in the Philippines. For two days, jeepney drivers, led by PISTON (Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide), protested the soaring price of oil due to the US-led war with Iran and its destabilizing effects throughout the Middle East. We stand with the newly formed No to Oil Price Hike coalition that will be launching another 2 day strike from March 26-27.
This year we celebrate the 40th year anniversary of EDSA People Power, the movement that ousted the Marcos Sr. dictatorship after years of unchecked crimes, human rights violations, and corruption.
Millions came together to demand justice and accountability from his crooked regime and we, as freedom loving Filipinos, must continue this legacy today.
