Antonio "Dodong" Petalcorin, the leader of a transport workers union in the Philippines, was shot dead on 2 July 2013 right in front of his home.

The gunman was caught on a CCTV camera calmly escaping in a motorcycle.

Dodong was the fifth transport workers union leader killed during the current presidency.

We are calling on the Philippines' president, Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III, to ensure that Dodong's killers are caught and brought to justice.

Please help - it will take you just 30 seconds to send off your message of protest:

anyone who sends letter to "His Excellency" or "Dear Mr. President" is accepting that ruling system of Philippines has nothing to do with this crime or suppression of workers in general, and these crimes can be stopped by killers who run the state.

instead of writing letters to murderers, support communists and their struggle in Philippines.

edit: I'm not implying ckaihatsu supports this crap, seeing as he just pasted the email.
