“At patuloy po aming gagawin ito—patuloy naming gagawin, padadamihin, palalakihin natin, at pararamihin natin, mas importante ay paramihin lalo na sa mga lugar na talaganghirap ang tao at hindi pa kaya ang mga presyuhan kung nasa palengkeThere are currently over 500 Kadiwa events nationwide, according to the President.
He said the Department of Labor and Employment is also planning a Kadiwa event together with the Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Agriculture , which will cater to workers.Labor groups have been demanding government action to provide aid to workers to cope with rising cost of basic necessities, particularly food, through a minimum wage hike, price control, and tax exemptions.
