On Marcos Jr.’s National Human Rights Action Plan

“Marcos wants the real human rights situation on the ground to be glossed over through the issuance of the NHRAP,” Palabay said. “This is sheer hypocrisy. He must be made accountable for his crimes.”

On the oil price hikes

“The DOE (Department of Energy) has become nothing but a mouthpiece of oil cartels, readily accepting their justifications for price increases without scrutiny. Instead of

On the persecution of artists, writers

Malawakang patayan sa panahon ni Duterte

“Ang nanlaban narrative, iyong gayong modus, ay nanggaling mismo sa mga pulis.
