1. Agricultural industry, particularly farmers and fisherfolks, who face declining income, displacement, and loss of livelihood due to land grabbing, corporate interests, and environmental degradation.
2. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which are struggling to survive due to lack of government support, high taxes, and unfair competition from big corporations and foreign investors.
