Like nearly every Filipino, CTUHR waited and listened to President Aquino’s state of the nation address (SONA), an attention that Arroyo government never had. Pres Aquino ably painted a dismal image of the “forked road” the country has taken in the previous administration: government spending that exceeded the country’s revenues leaving the government coffers with nothing but debts.

The Center for Trade Union and Human Rights calls on everyone to support the 25 workers of ABS-CBN IJM who were constructively dismissed starting June 16 after refusing to accept a flawed “regularization program” offered by the management ABS-CBN, the largest media conglomerate in the Philippines.

CTUHR welcomes the recent pronouncement of presumptive President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III published in various papers last June 1 that there must be a “closure” to the human rights killings as a positive development.
