Party of the Committees to Support Resistance – for Communism (CARC) – Italy
Tribute to the comrade Wilson Baldonaza
The comrade Wilson Baldonaza, General Secretary of the May First Movement
Labor Center (KMU) that has hundred of thousands of Filipino workers, died
on 1st July.
We met him when he came in Italy, two years ago, bringing news about
Filipino workers’ struggle for their rights and against the repression by
the regime of Gloria M. Arroyo, responsible for the killing of many
unionists and workers. We met him again one year ago, in Hong Kong, at the
Third International Assembly of the International League of Peoples’
Struggles (ILPS).
In these last years of his life, already suffering from the illness, he
always employed all his energy for working class’ rights and for the
liberation from imperialism and colonialism, and he was a model of leader
and comrade able to devote himself to the struggle to the end. His example
goes with that of comrade Ka Beltran, and of other comrades who give
strength and greatness to the Filipino revolutionary movement.
We honour the comrade Wilson, who lives in our struggle.
