Labor leader Leody de Guzman said Tuesday he would run for president under the Partido Lakas ng Masa partylist to fight for the workers rights in the country.
De Guzman accepted the party's "challenge" to be its standard bearer during its national convention. He said he would push for systemic change in the government while representing the working class.
"Hindi lang palitan si Duterte, hindi lang para palitan 'yung mukha ng pangulo sa Malakanyang kundi palitan ang buong sistema ng ating gobyerno," he said.
"Dapat ganun ang ipaliwanag natin sa mga tao, at doon tayo kikilalaning naiiba sa mga pulitiko na kakandidato ngayon dahil wala sa kanilang nagsasabi n'yan."
De Guzman ran unsuccesfully for senator in 2019.
