From Balikatan to Kasangga, military exercises with US and allies endanger local communities

“These war exercices further expose not just the subservience of the Marcos Jr government to the dictates of foreign military powers led by the US, but also its gravely misplaced priorities. Marcos is ready to sell out our national sovereignty and patrimony, escalate regional tensions, and drag the country into conflicts not of our making instead of laying out a comprehensive economic program that can boost local production, protect our domestic economy from external shocks and uplift the living conditions of our people.”

BUCOR must prove if Palparan is still in NBP

“The only way to explain the notation is that he was actually allowed to be moved to Baguio, and this fact is reflected in their record. As a result, the office in charge of receiving mail matters refused to accept the letters for the simple reason that Palparan, as appearing in their records, is no longer detained at the National Bilibid Prison.”

Ang tunay na kalayaan ay hindi nakakamit sa pagtataas lamang ng watawat

“Ang tunay na kalayaan ay nararating sa pamamagitan ng kolektibong pakikibaka ng isang mamamayang may determinasyong magtakda ng sarili nilang tadhana. Hangga’t hindi natin napapalayas sa ating lupain ang mga dayuhang tropa, dayuhang missiles, at dayuhang dikta, ang bawat Araw ng Kalayaan ay mananatili lamang na isang walang-saysay na ritwal.”

Accountability is long overdue for Duterte

“He ordered these killings publicly in Davao City and when he was already in Malacañang. He has been doing these public announcements for decades.

The people deserve accountability and justice

“We urge the senators to stand on the side of the Filipino people who are clamoring for truth, accountability, and justice. The Filipino people deserve a Senate that acts with independence, integrity, and courage. They deserve leaders who place public welfare above political self-interest and who are willing to confront wrongdoing wherever it may be found.”

Walang maaasahan sa mga pulitikong kinatawan ng mayayaman at makapangyarihan

“Hangga’t ganito ang umiiral na kalakaran, hangga’t silang mga burukrata kapitalista at mga kinatawan ng mga naghaharing uri ang nandiyan, walang katapusan itong mga kaguluhan sa pulitika. Saksi ang taumbayan ngayon kung gaano walang pag-asa ang ganitong sistema. Araw-araw pinapaalala sa atin na walang aasahan sa mga pulitikong kinatawan ng mga mayayaman at makapangyarihan.”

Pax Silica will drag RP to the frontlines of US-China rivalry

“Pax Silica threatens to reorganize the Philippine economy around the demands of US semiconductor, artificial intelligence and strategic mineral supply chains while intensifying neocolonial subordination, land dispossession, ecological destruction, and militarization. Amid escalating US-China rivalry, the Philippines is being drawn further into imperialist conflict—not as an equal partner, but as a forward operating platform for Washington’s global ambitions.”

AFP’s narratives on Negros 19 expose its inconsistencies

“KARAPATAN joins the people in demanding that the AFP stop glossing over the reality of oppression and exploitation and stop evading accountability for violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. We continue to stand in solidarity with the people in exposing the AFP’s lies and opposing repression.”
