UFCC asks PBBM to lower prices of rice, water, power rates

QUEZON CITY — The United Filipino Consumers and Commuters (UFCC) on Wednesday (June 12) asked President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos, Jr. to lower the prices of rice as well as water and electricity rates.

They all strongly shouted “Gutom na Pilipino. Mahal ang Tubig Mahal na Pangulo. Kurapsyon sa Gobyerno. Gutom na Pilipino. Mahal ang Bigas. Mahal ang Kuryente. Mahal na Pangulo. Lunod na sa Mataas na Presyo ng Tubig ang mga Water Consumers. Presyo Ibaba. Ang Tubig ay buhay ngunit ang presyo ay nakakamatay!”

The WARM or Water for All Movement Refund Movement also joined the protest action in Welcome Rotonda.

The UFCC-WARM led by RJ Javellana braved the scorching heat at the Mabuhay Rotonda in Quezon City and asked PBBM to lower the price of rice, and water and power rates.

They shouted “Mahal na bigas, Mahal na kuryente, Mahal na tubig. Mahal na Pangulo.”

“Totoong Malaya na ang Pilipino pero walang kapasidad na bumili ng Mahal na bigas, Mahal na tubig at Mahal na kuryente,” Javellana said.

“Magkakaroon lamang ng tunay na kalayaan kung may kapasidad na bumili ng Mahal na tubig, Mahal na bigas at Mahal na kuryente,” he added.

“Ang panawagan ng sambayanang Pilipino sa mga opisyal ng gobyerno sa ika-126 Araw ng Kalayaan ay kalayaan sa Mahal na bigas, Mahal na tubig at Mahal na kuryente. Mahal na Pangulo,” Javellana stressed.

Likewise, Javellana said “katulad ng panawagang ng KDP (Katipunan ng Demokratikong Pilipino), kami rin po ay nananawagan para sa pandaigdigang kapayapaan.”

“Ang UFCC ay nananawagan para sa mababang presyo ng bilihin. Ipatupad ang Saligang batas na dapat ay independent foreign policy at hindi pro-US,” he said.

“Sa peace summit sa Switzerland na pinatawag ni Ukrainian President Volodomir Zelenskyy, sinabi ni Javellana na di dapat nakikiaalam si Pangulong Marcos sa giyera nina Zelenskyy at Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kapag nainis si Putin ay baka magkaroon ng digmaang nukleyar na kung saan walang anumang bansa sa mundo ay magwawagi sa huli,” Javellana lamented.

“8 EDCA (Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement) 8 Bomba atomika ang dudurog sa Pilipinas,” he said.
“Under the 1987 Constitution, the Philippines renounces war.. Trabaho ang kailangan at hindi digmaan. Nanamnamin ng taong bayan kapag mayroon ng kalaysan sa mababang bilihin,” Javellana said.

“Kailangan nating tanggalin ang EPIRA (Electric Power Industry Reform Act) para bumaba ang presyo ng kuryente.
Edukasyon imbes na digmaan,”
UFCC leader stressed.#
