Labor, urban-poor groups team up with Escudero

LABOR and urban poor groups have found an ally in Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero, who vowed to help them in pursuing their aspiration in bringing meaningful reforms for the rights and welfare of the country’s poor.

Partido Lakas ng Masa (PLM), a political party composed of marginalized sectors like labor and the urban poor, on Sunday vowed to support the vice presidential bid of Escudero, and push for the realization of the party’s seven-point platform called “Plataporma ng Pagbabago” (Platform of Change) that will benefit the poor.
