MANILA, Philippines -- A US-based Filipino punk rock band extended their condolences on Tuesday to the family of the late Anakpawis (Toiling Masses) Representative Crispin Beltran.

In an e-mail sent to INQUIRER.net, Kadena (Chain), which bills itself on its MySpace page as “an anti-fascist, anti-imperialist, anti-racist, all-Filipino political street punk rock band based in Brooklyn,” New York, said they were “mourning the passing away of one of the greatest Filipino labor leader, unionist and working-class fighter, Beltran.” ...

Kadena said Beltran was their inspiration when composing left-leaning and pro-labor music.
