Vice President Jejomar Binay called out presidential rival Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte in his advanced Labor Day message yesterday.
United Nationalist Alliance party standard-bearer Binay compared himself to his Partido ng Demokratikong Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan counterpart by presenting himself as a supporter of laborers’ rights and welfare.
“Kinikilala natin ang mga manggagawang Pilipino bilang matibay na haligi ng ating lipunan. Katuwang sila sa anumang pagsulong ng ating bansa,” he said.
“Bilang pasasalamat sa kanilang mahalagang ambag sa lipunan, dapat lang pangalagaan ng pamahalaan ang kanilang mga karapatan at isulong ang kanilang kapakanan,” added Binay. (Ellson A. Quismorio)
