VILLAR WELCOMES ALU-TUCP ENDORSEMENT

Senate President Manny Villar welcomed the endorsement made by the Associated Labor Unions and Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (ALU-TUCP) of his reelection bid.

The biggest labor organization in the country threw its support behind the Senate President who is seeking reelection as an independent guest candidate of the Genuine Opposition.

I am honored by the support given by ALU-TUCP which represents our countrys thousands of workers who stir our industries to growth through their expertise and skills, Villar said.

ALU-TUCP plays a significant role not only in protecting our human resource assets but also in further professionalizing our workforce to make them at par with their counterparts abroad, the Senate president said.

Villar said that as enshrined in the Constitution, the government must afford full protection to labor, whether organized or unorganized, and promote full employment and equality of opportunity for workers.

Along with Villar, the labor group also endorsed senatorial candidates Chavit Singson, Loren Legarda and Mike Defensor.
