Labor leader and presidential aspirant Leody De Guzman on Wednesday declared that he will not back out of the 2022 presidential race, following reports of his withdrawal.
“Hindi po tayo aatras. Malinaw ‘yan sa akin, sa aking partido, at sa masang Pilipino na naniniwala sa ‘Manggagawa Naman sa 2022,'” he said.
(We will not withdraw. This is clear to me, to my party and to the Filipino people who believe in our theme, ‘It’s the workers’ turn in 2022.’)
“Nararapat lamang na bigyan diin, ang aking kandidatura ay bunsod ng paghahangad ng masang Pilipino para sa makabuluhang pagbabago sa buhay pulitika at ekonomiya ng bansa. Kongkretisasyon nito ay ang plataporma na naka-sentro sa ‘Labor First’ policy, at pag-ahon sa krisis ng dulot ng pandemya at klima,” he added.
(I would like to underscore that my candidacy is due to the Filipino masses’ hope for meaningful change in our country’s political and economic life. This is concretized in a platform centered on a ‘Labor First’ policy and rising from a crisis caused by the pandemic and climate change.)
De Guzman said if there are unity talks with other candidates, it would be based on their principles.
“Bukas kaming makipag-usap sa lahat ng kandidato na seryoso sa layunin na resolbahin ang mga krisis na pinagdadaanan ng masa, kabilang ang pagdiskaril sa tambalang Marcos-Duterte,” he said.
(We are open to talk to all candidates who are serious in their purpose to resolve the crisis we are dealing with, including stopping the Marcos-Duterte tandem.) — BM, GMA News
