Two progressives running for Senate
Two progressives running for Senate
In the upcoming 2022 elections, the progressives are fielding two activists who are known for fighting for people’s rights and welfare all their lives.
Neri Colmenares, chairperson of both the Makabayan Coalition and the National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers (NUPL), has been actively assisting families of victims of human rights violations, calling out government abuses, fighting disinformation, and filing relevant legal measures to put a stop to what progressives deem as anti-people policies.
Kilusang Mayo Uno Chairperson Elmer Labog, meanwhile, once left his supervisorial job at a hotel in the Philippine capital to become a full-time labor organizer. He has not turned his back since then and has been at the fore in pushing for workers’ welfare.
