Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) condemned the verdict as another injustice inflicted on thousands of landless farmers and agricultural workers at the sprawling estate. “This decision is but a continuation of what is turning out to be a litany of injustice under CARP,” it said.
Thousands attended the June 16, 2025 four-hour tribute to Luis “Ka Louie” Jalandoni at the GT-Toyota Auditorium at the University of the Philippines in Diliman (UP-Diliman), with people crammed inside as speakers took turns acknowledging the herculean job of the former National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP).
If they could not abide by their oath and wear their robes symbolically, they just showed they are as bad as the emperor with no clothes.
Jalandoni’s legacy as a champion of dialogue, reconciliation, and inclusive engagement based on social justice continues to inspire current and future generations committed to achieving peace through negotiation that addresses the roots of armed conflict and social discord.
CARP is a dead duck, eviscerated by the bogus promise of land distribution by the Duterte and Marcos Jr. administrations, both of them the worst implementors of CARP. Add the program to the long list of Tokhang victims.
very observant citizen would suspect that the “speed bagal” style of Senate President Runny Nose and the resolution of Sen. Tokhang are cut from the same cloth and designed to frustrate the desire of 88% of Filipino respondents in Social Weather Stations (SWS) surveys who want the impeachment trial to proceed.
Of course, many of the zealots opposed to the rather puny P200 legislated minimum wage increase are not even employers themselves as they lease warehouses or are still enamored with Friedrich Hayek, whose theory has bombed and is condemned worldwide.
Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) chairperson Danilo Ramos said, “President Marcos Jr. is the biggest obstacle to holding the impeachment trial. His role in halting this vital democratic process cannot be denied, and he must face the strongest condemnation and protest from all of us.”
Duterte Youth chair Ronald Cardema, his wife and former Rep. Ducielle Marie Doctor Suarez Cardema, and his sister-in-law and incumbent Rep. Drixie Mae Doctor Suarez “Cardema” should face multiple charges of material misrepresentation, lying under oath or perjury, and other acts prohibited by law.
Frankfurt Book Fair boycotters are right to boycott the Frankfurt Book Fair. The fair is not “the world capital of ideas” that just happens to accommodate Zionists by chance; its programming and actions have demonstrated that it is, in fact, a platform for propagating Zionism, deodorizing genocide, and normalizing the US-backed colonization of Palestine by Israel.
