Documentary in Tribute to Ka Bel


May 28, 2011


"Ka Bel, A Documentary" is a film featuring the life and struggles of Crispin B. Beltran. Ka Bel, as he is commonly called, was the labour leader of Kilusang Mayo Uno (May First Movement) and the Representative of Anakpawis (Toiling Masses) Partylist in the Philippine Congress.

The film is presented in commemoration of the third anniversary of his passing in May 20, 2008. The aim is to inspire fellow Filipinos and other working people to engage in collective action in order to assert the rights of workers. Also to encourage fellow Filipinos to become engaged in organizing work and campaigns that will help further the Filipino people’s goals of attaining national freedom and genuine democracy in their homeland.

Ka Bel’s life and work is examplary of the struggle for worker rights. He came from a humble background like many Filipino migrant workers in Canada, and Ka Bel was one of the Philippine congress representatives who passed a resolution for the Philippine government to investigate the situation of Filipino live-in caregivers in Canada.
