MONDAY, May 18, was not just about the circus in Philippine Congress, where they were shamelessly performing the railroading of the Bangsamoro Basic Law.

It was also about the 397 contractual workers of Tanduay Distiller Inc. in Cabuyao Laguna staging a strike at the gates of the Asia Brewery Compound. Some of these workers had worked five years, others as long as 11 years.
