Local progressive groups in Iloilo City will push through with their planned rally to commemorate the 37th anniversary of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution on Friday, Feb. 24, even after local police expressed concerns over the city's traffic.
The rally had also been given clearance by the city government’s Public Safety and Transportation Management Office, the department in-charge of the enforcement of traffic regulations, among other offices required for the issuance of a rally permit.
In a press conference on Wednesday, February 22, Mario Andon from United Labor said that they would only find true peace if they are provided with better salaries and better living wages. BAYAN Secretary-General Elmer Forro stated that the protests are not far from that of the 1986 EDSA People Power, as presidents from that time and today are both named Ferdinand Marcos.
