Less then two weeks after the global day of action to Stop the Repression Against Trade Unionists, Rolando Pango, a farm worker organiser on the Filipino island of Negros was assassinated by four killers. Rolando had been active in defending workers against exploitation by the dominant sugar plantation farmers in the area. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case as many other Filipino labour activists have been killed just this year. Labour mobilisations continue in the Phillipines.
