Labor group dares Ang Probinsyano Rep. to resign

The labor group Partido Manggagawa demanded that Ang Probinsyano Party-list Rep. Alfred de los Santos resign as congressman if he is truly sorry for punching a waiter in Legazpi, Albay.

“If De los Santos won’t voluntarily resign then he must be axed by his party-list group or the House Ethics Committee,” said Rene Magtubo, PM national chairman.

“A student who punches his peer is liable to be expelled from school. A worker who hits a customer will definitely be terminated, and will probably be arrested and jailed. But De los Santos is still walking free and engaging in verbal acrobatics to assuage the public outrage.”

Magtubo said De los Santos is an example of how the party-list system has been “truly bastardized.”

“On the one hand, we have a party-list rep who attacks and abuses a lowly worker. On the other hand, the richest House representative is a party-list congressman.” Magtubo said.

“A party-list representative should bravely stand up for labor and take the government to task for the country being named as among the 10 worst countries for workers. Instead we have the sad spectacle of Ang Probinsyano Rep. De los Santos caught punching an ordinary worker,” he added.
