committed during the May 1 Labor Day protest.

In a statement, the MPD said, Every trace of vandalism is not only dirt on
on the wall but also shows a lack of respect for our community. The statem
statement highlights the frustration and exasperation felt by authorities a
and citizens alike when public spaces are defaced with spray-painted slogan
slogans and graffiti.

Labor Day protest, calling on the government to raise the minimum daily wag
wage to P1,200. They marched through several streets in EspaΓ±a Boulevard to
to Mendiola, and to Kalaw Avenue. The peaceful protest was marred by acts o

After the protest, several spray-painted slogans were seen on different wal

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
