Message of PALEA President Gerry Rivera to the Iskolars para sa Bayan

3-4 October 2011 – UP ALYANSA visited the members of the Philippine Airlines Employees Association (PALEA) in their camp-out site near the NAIA Terminal 2 in Parañaque City, and expressed its solidarity with the protesting PAL employees in their fight for security of tenure.

UP ALYANSA Chairperson Tin Borja and CSSP Student Council Chairperson JC Tejano gave their messages of solidarity to PALEA, reaffirming the formation’s commitment in upholding workers’ rights that also affect the youth and students.

“Narito po kami upang magpasalamat sa inyo dahil higit sa pagtatanggol ninyo sa inyong mga karapatan bilang mga manggagawa, ipinaglalaban niyo rin na magkaroon kaming mga kabataan ng regular na trabaho at magandang buhay sa hinaharap,” Tejano said in his message.

In response to our call for financial and material support to the camp-out, residents of Kalayaan Residence Hall donated noodles, canned goods and blankets to PALEA members.

In return, PALEA President Gerry Rivera thanked UP ALYANSA and the freshman dormers, and asked our fellow Iskolars para sa Bayan to continue supporting PALEA in defending their right to tenure and safeguarding the rights and welfare of our nation’s workers.

“Sa mga susunod na araw ay iniimbitahan namin kayo na pumunta rito. We need your support – be it moral, physical or material. Kailangan namin ang mga ito dahil ang laban nating ito ay maaaring pangmatagalan,” Rivera appealed to our fellow Iskos and Iskas.

“Sa pagbibigay ninyo ng moral support sa amin, mas lalo kaming lumalakas at kayo ay nagiging inspirasyon namin. Manalig kayo na sa inyong tulong ay makakamtan natin ang tunay na kalayaan para sa ating mga mangggagawa – kalayaan mula sa pang-aabuso, kalayaan mula sa eksploytasyon – at ang pagbibigay ng dignidad sa manggagawang Pilipino,” Rivera concluded.

Other youth groups that were with UP ALYANSA during the two visits are the National Youth Commission, the Student Council Alliance of the Philippines (SCAP), the Coalition for Students’ Rights and Welfare (STRAW Coalition), Akbayan! Youth, and ALYANSA member-organizations Buklod CSSP and Akbayan! Youth - UP Diliman.
