My Sentiments Lie With The Workers, by Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim :

" Message for the Laborers:


It is no secret that my incarceration has largely been due to the fact that I have been completely against the rule of a singular privileged class.The military is supposed to be a level playing field where merit alone determines your position. But we all know that isn't true.


My concern for the working class has always been lack of mobility and the increasing power of those in whose hands capital wealth rests.
This imbalance worsens the societal imbalance and renders useless the Constitutional guarantees of social justice. Not only do workers fail to get decent wages, but also they continually lose their voices in addressing labor issues. This situation becomes far more grave when those in power are members of that singular privileged class, the same class that holds the wealth, dictates wages and determines the fate and social standing of millions of impoverished laborers.

I cannot stand by and let this situation continue. My sentiments lie with the workers. I am with you because, I have always been you.

Mabuhay ang uri ng manggagawa! ( Long Live The Working Class ! ) "
