MANILA, Philippines – A labor leader for many years, Leody de Guzman is joining politics. And it’s not just any position – it’s the highest post in the land.
After losing in the 2019 senatorial elections, the Partido Lakas ng Masa standard-bearer stands out with a unique pro-labor agenda. De Guzman and his running mate Walden Bello also say they will fight what they call the “Marcos-Duterte Axis of Evil.”
Calling himself a social democrat, will his brand of politics resonate with Filipinos?
De Guzman sits down with Nobel laureate and Rappler chief executive officer Maria Ressa, where he answers the question: What will you do in your first 100 days in office if you become the president?
