Third, the Philippine Ports Authority should review the contract of the cargo handling services at the port. Fourth, members of the union should immediately report to PCBSI and withdraw their strike before April 24 and the last, all charges filed in court by both parties should be withdrawn and there should be no Retaliatory Reaction.
The Memorandum of Agreement was signed by Rommel Ibuna of PCBSI, Atty Democrito Mendoza (ALU-TUCP President) and PPA General Manager Atty Oscar Sevilla.
