“Napag-usapan na po namin na di kami sasama sa Nov 30 at sa mga susunod pang rally ng Bayan. Ang totoo nga po, kakalatas na kami sa grupo. Ang problema kasi, bukod sa di kami nababayaran ng ayos, parang yumayaman pa yung mga namumuno ” Norberto (not his real name), a seasonal construction worker from San Rafael, Bulacan told reporters.
“Pati din po yung mga taga Apalit, Pampanga ayaw na din sumama. Kasi nga naman daw, sila pa muna mag-aabono sa pambayad sa sasakyan, tapos di naman naibabalik sa kanila yung binayad nila. Kumbaga, lugi na sa pagod at gutom, tapos abonado ka pa.” He added, noting that in several cases, they were not even provided with transportation allowance.
Norberto alleged that around 250 of them, and another 250 from Apalit were promised to receive P500 per rally, The frustrated Bayan member did not mention further details, but it appears that he is referring to their former local leaders who allegedly ran away, taking all the money that was supposed to be given to them as “allowance” for attending rallies.
