“Teodoro’s statement smacks of arrogance, ignorance about the lessons of history, and irrationality especially with his absurd claim that there is already peace in society. His idea of peace is to pacify communities resisting destructive extractive projects, suppress the people’s right to express their grievances, and treasonously collude with the US government to escalate tension in this part of the world.”
“The deployment of US precision strike and anti-ship missile systems on our northern islands is a blatant escalation. This is no longer ‘training’—this is positioning the Philippines in the front line of a potential regional war.”
“Praising a unit amid serious allegations of excessive force and civilian deaths is reckless and dangerous. It sends a signal that killing is the shortcut
“Now that the jurisdiction is confirmed and there will be a trial, maybe it’s time for all the victims of extrajudicial killings to come forward and pursue the case at the ICC.
The ICC has jurisdiction. All the victims should come forward and unite so that Duterte can be held accountable.”
“Dapat ilantad sa publiko ang mahahalagang datos tungkol sa gastos at tubo, lalo na kapag krisis at pambansang interes ang nakataya. Pabilisin ang paglalabas ng impormasyon, at parusahan ang hindi susunod o magsusumite ng hindi makatwirang paliwanag.”
“Paalala ang Abril 9 na hindi awtomatikong proteksiyon ang tinatawag na ‘alyansa’—iniwan noon ang Pilipinas sa oras ng pinakamalaking panganib, matapos gamitin bilang kolonya at baseng militar.”
“Gutom ang mahihirap na Pilipino, pero napupunta ang buwis natin sa pagpaypay ng gera sa Asya gamit ang exercises na ito. Mas malaki pa siguro ang gastos sa Balikatan. Gera ng U.S. ang dahilan ng krisis ngayon, pero pinopondohan pa ni Marcos na maging playground ang Pilipinas ng tropang Kano at mga alyado nito.”
“Arresting two senior women development workers on Maundy Thursday is cruelty dressed up as law enforcement. Hindi ito ‘due process’—panggigipit ito. Ginagamit ang batas at mga gawa-gawang kaso para patahimikin ang mga tumutulong at naglilingkod sa mamamayan.”
Hindi naman nito ginagarantya na bababa ang presyo ng langis. Lalamunin lang ng taas ng presyo ng petrolyo ang anumang band-aid solution ng gubyernong Marcos! Sa kapitalista lang magsisilbi ang UPLIFT ni Bongbong.
“Hindi kailangang ipagsabong ang tsuper at komyuter. Pwede rin ang fare hike, sa totoo lang, kahit sa kabataan, basta sabayan ito ng wage hike at mas masaklaw na tulong-pinansyal para sa mahihirap.”
