MANILA, Philippines — As the Marcos-Duterte campaign revived the Martial Law-era song "Bagong Lipunan" at their proclamation rally, pro-worker standard-bearers from Partido Lakas ng Masa (PLM) sang an even older song during their campaign that was also popular among activists during the dictatorship.

 

Presidential candidate Ka Leody de Guzman and his vice-presidential running mate Walden Bello can be seen singing the Filipino translation of "The Internationale" at their own proclamation rally at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani, Tuesday night.

 

"The Internationale" is a Left-wing anthem commonly sung by Marxists and socialists. It is also commonly heard from militants and activists during May 1 or the International Workers' Day (Labor Day) demonstrations.
