MANILA, Philippines — Labor group Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) conducted a lightning rally in front of the US Embassy in Manila on Monday, March 23, denouncing the continued US-Israeli war on Iran and its detrimental impact on the global economy through the oil crisis.

KMU said that the strong presence of the US military in the country won’t save Filipinos as long as it constantly puts the nation in danger and on the verge of war.

“Magiging ligtas lang ang mamamayang Pilipino kung palayasin ang mga tropa ng US, lansagin ang mga base militar nito, at ibasura ang mga kasunduang inoobliga tayong lumahok sa mga digmaang kinasasangkutan ng US,” KMU stressed.

“Nanawagan kami sa mga kababayan namin na tutulan ang lumalakas na presensyang militar ng US sa bansa at kumilos laban sa mga digmaan nito sa Iran at iba pang bansa,” it added.
