About 20 trade union activists from Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino (BMP) Burma picketed the SPDC-Myanmar Embassy in Makati city marking the 2nd Anniversary of Saffron Revolution in Burma.
 
The group offered flowers and candles which according to them symbolize their continuing solidarity with the peoples of Burma who have been suffering under a brutal military regime for more than four decades now.

It will be recalled that in September of 2007, thousands of people including monks, women, youth and students, and ordinary citizens flooded the streets of central Burma caused by the sudden increase in fuel prices.
 
The peoples of Burma issued three demands that include improvement of people's economic contiditon, a genuine national reconcilliation and the release of all political prisoners in Burma. The protest however turned into a bloody massacre after the Burmese military junta ordered dispersal of peacefully protesting monk and civilians.
