MANILA — For Debie Faigmani, the last 15 years of working in a multinational milk company has not been a walk in the park. As his family’s breadwinner, he is expected to put food on the table and even help their other relatives in need.
This has been harder these days.
Faigmani is among the delegates from the Southern Tagalog region who joined today’s protest action hours before Ferdinand Marcos Jr. delivered his second State of the Nation Address.
The protesters’ chant, “food on the table, not Maharlika,” resonates with workers like him, he said.
“I already am scrimping on my essentials. That’s not even an option for us workers. This is the reality we face to provide for our family and send our children to school,” Faigmani told Bulatlat in Filipino at the sidelines of today’s protest action along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon.
