The Armed Forces of
the Philippines (AFP) salutes all workers at all levels of the society
especially our OFWs, our new heroes of the millennium.
The AFP looks forward
to a peaceful and orderly commemoration of Labor Day by groups from the
labor sector in their activities on May 1.
The AFP through the
Joint Task Force–NCR will deploy troops to support the Philippine
National Police (PNP) in ensuring peace and order in Metro Manila. Units
in the provinces are also in support to the PNP and ready to respond to
possible threats that may arise during the occasion.
The AFP takes
particular concern on the activities of the Communist NPA Terrorists who
are notorious in disrupting peace; and sowing violence and disorder
during public gatherings.
We call on our
brothers and sisters from the labor sector to be one with us in
observing Labor Day in a peaceful and orderly way. We encourage everyone
to conduct a non-violent and constructive dialogue with the government
instead of rallies in the streets that usually cause severe traffic and
disrupt the normal activities of people; and sometimes lead to violence.
We will continue to
perform our mandate to protect the wellbeing and the rights of our
people especially our labor sector in our shared goal of achieving peace
and development in our country. ###
