Did you know that the first labor day commemoration in the Philippines took place on May 1, 1903?
The Union Obrera Democratica de Filipinas, the nationโs first labor federation led by Herminigildo Cruz, organized the first Labor Day celebration. In order to demand full independence, thousands of workers marched from Plaza Moriones in Tondo to Malacaรฑang while singing anti-American capitalism and imperialism.
Now you know better! In the 123rd Labor Day Celebration come May 1, you can do better by saluting all Filipino workers in the different parts of the world in celebration of Labor Day or Araw nvg Paggawa.
