“Ipinagtitibay ng KMU na buong-buong susuporta’t mangangampanya para sa pagpapanalo ng kandidaturang Leni-Kiko,” they said in a resolution.

(KMU affirms its full support in campaigning for the victory of the Leni-Kiko candidacy.)
The federation highlighted the need to defeat the tandem of the dictator’s son Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Sara Duterte, who they claim is the embodiment of poor governance.
“Isang mahalagang lunsaran ng ating mga panawagan at kahilingan ang halalan, sa paghamon natin sa mga kandidato sa iba’t ibang posisyon at partido. Subalit, tumatakbo din ngayon ang tambalang Marcos-Duterte na kumakatawan sa pinakamasahol na tipo ng pamumuno sa gobyerno ayon sa track record nila at ng kanilang pamilya sa pagnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan, kroniyismo o pagpabor lang sa piling kaalyado’t kaibigan, at paglabag sa karapatang pantao ng mamamayan,” KMU said.
(The elections are an important launch for our calls and wishes in challenging candidates from different positions and parties. However, the Marcos-Duterte tandem is running for office, who embody the poorest type of leadership in the government according to their track records and their families when it comes to stealing from the people’s coffers, cronyism, favoring certain allies and friends, and violating human rights of the people.)
