The protesters will demand a PHP750 (USD14.40) national daily minimum wage and a ban on contractualization, which they said Duterte once promised to end but has ignored. Elmer Labog, KMU chair, said rallies will be held in Metro Manila, the Bicol region, and the cities of Cebu, Davao, Baguio, and Bacolod, among others.
