Pamalakaya said that it will continue to present their demands to Robredo and Pangilinan, such as “severing from liberalization policies on agriculture and fisheries, protection of coastal communities and fishing grounds from conversion and privatization, abolition of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, among other human rights abuses committed by the present Duterte regime.
“The Robredo-Pangilinan tandem is morally and politically obliged to accommodate every issue that would be raised by the marginalized sectors including but not limited to reclaiming the West Philippine Sea from China, ending the country’s reliance on importation, and justice to our colleagues who have been victimized and communities that have been ravaged by Duterte’s fascism,” Hicap pointed out.
“This justice should be in a form of accountability and dismantling of all the machineries established under the Duterte regime,” he added. Hicap also noted that their support for the presidential and vice presidential hopefuls is not only based on common political platforms. “Our support for the Robredo-Pangilinan camp, besides being based on common political platforms, is accompanied with a continuing engagement that will develop a unified position on comprehensive issues that represent the democratic interests of the Filipinos and our national sovereignty,” he said.
