Maligayang Araw ng mga Manggagawa! Today, we honor the strength, resilience, and invaluable contributions of Filipino workers who continue to build our nation through their daily labor. Did you know? Labor Day in the Philippines, known as โAraw ng mga Manggagaw" has its origins in the first celebration on May 1, 1903, organized by the Union Obrera Democratica de Filipinas. Thousands of workers marched to Malacaรฑang, demanding better working conditions and Philippine independence. The Philippine Assembly later formalized May 1 as a national holiday on April 8, 1908. This historic day reminds us that the rights we enjoy todayโfair wages, reasonable working hours, and safe conditionsโwere hard-won through the courage and solidarity of those who came before us. As we celebrate this meaningful holiday, letโs remember the continuing struggle for workersโ dignity and rights, not just in our country but worldwide. #UPBaguio
