Ding Cervantes - The Philippine Star

ANGELES CITY, Philippines – Two farmers groups – Alyansa ng mga Magbubukid sa Gitnang Luson (AMGL) and the Anakpawis party-list Central Luzon chapter – have endorsed the senatorial bid of Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casiño, who is running independently under the Makabayan coalition.

“We endorse Casiño as senator as he advances and upholds the interest of the peasant sector and the masses,” said AMGL chairman and Anakpawis-CL coordinator Joseph Canlas.

Canlas cited Casiño’s advancement of House Bill 374 or the Genuine Agrarian Reform Bill (GARB) and the repeal of Republic Act 9700 or the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program Extension with “Reforms” (CARPer); House Bill 4315 or the People’s Mining Bill; P125 across the board wage increase bill; removal of value-added tax on power, oil and toll fees; repeal of the oil deregulation law and other legislation promoting the welfare of the people.
