Members of the women’s group GABRIELA took to the sidewalk of Commonwealth Market on Friday, February 13, using giant mock-ups of grocery receipts and utility bills to protest the continued implementation of the 12% Value Added Tax (VAT). The demonstrators argued that regressive taxes place an unbearable weight on the working class. The group is demanding the immediate removal of VAT on essential goods and services, such as food, water, and electricity. | via Bea Cuadra, ABS-CBN News | ABS-CBN N
