• Samira Gutoc
• Senator Risa Hontiveros
• Elmer Labog
• Sonny Matula

De Guzman and the PLM slate held their miting de avance on Wednesday night at the Quezon City Memorial Circle.

“Mga kasama, kung tayo ay naghahangad ng pagbabago, kung tayo ay naghahangad ng magandang buhay sa ating mga anak, magandang kinabukasan, walang pagasa sa mga sikat, sa mga makikinis, sa mga kandidatong galing sa exclusive subdivision, sa mga kandidatong regular na na bidder na mga may-ari ng malalaking korporasyon,” De Guzman said.

(If we seek change, if we seek a good life and future for our children, there is no hope for the candidates who are famous, smooth skinned, who are living in exclusive subdivisions, and are regular bidders for those who own big corporations.)

Among De Guzman and Bello’s priority plans for the country should they win the May 9 polls are to  increase the national minimum wage to P750, to abolish the regional wage boards, and dissolve the manpower agencies to end contractualization in the country. — RSJ, GMA News
