Kentex factory workers in Valenzuela City that claimed 7 lives and other workers from different private companies march in Mendiola, Manila City calling for the abolition of contractualization and the withdrawal of the membership of the Philippines from the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). The protesters led by the Union President against Contractualization (UPAC) believes that the Kentex tragedy is the "perfect illustration of the overall impact of the neo-liberal path of development that the APEC and other similar international trade formations that have drawn for the Philippines".
