Workers forming coalition for 2025 polls

The Philippine Star

|

September 16, 2024

A group of workers is actively negotiating with several political parties to form a coalition for the coming May 2025 midterm elections.

- MAYEN JAYMALIN

Newly elected Workers' Party Philippines (WPP) president Sonny Matula said they are discussing with leaders of the Liberal Party and Bagumbayan for the formation of its senatorial slate.

"As a party focused on improving the rights and conditions of workers, expanding the middle class, and advocating for key labor reforms, the WPP recognizes that collaboration is essential to achieving its goals for the common good," Matula said.

"To make real change, we need to ally ourselves with other parties that share our vision for uplifting Filipino workers and the marginalized. This is a collective effort," he noted.

Matula, who also heads the Federation of Free Workers (FFW), intends to run in the senatorial elections.
