Los Angeles-- The Philippine Peasant Support Network (Peasant-USA) whole-heartedly and militantly support the 2-day nationwide transport strike led by the People;s Alliance against Oil Price Hike, PISTON and BAYAN Philippines.
It is only right and just to protest the rapacious and capricious oil price hike that is being dictated by monopolistic foreign oll companies like CALTEX, SHELL and others who have riding roughshod over the people for too long.
The people and the public transport sector have no choice but to show their strength and unity in the face of these continuous depredations and acts of economic sabotage. This is while the oil price worldwide to $ 85 per dollar. While oil prices is going down, oll prices in the Philippines is skyrocketing to the limits
Pesante-USA is one with the Filipino people in this just undertaking. In unity and power of the people there is strength
Not one minute more of the unjust, corrupt and puppet US –Arroyo regime!
OUST ARROYO NOW!
