Kodao mourns the passing of Prof. Jose Maria Sison

The Filipino people has lost its most brilliant political analyst and social scientist. His more than six decades of activism and revolutionary work has given the Filipino people courage and inspiration to hope and struggle for genuine democracy and freedom.

JOURNALISM IS NOT TERRORISM

Today, Bulatlat and Pinoy Weekly are filing petitions before the Courts to have the NTC order stopped and dismissed. We are fighting back. We will persevere in speaking truth to power. History is on our side. Press freedom will always remain a pillar of every democracy while those who sought to curtail press freedom were always repudiated and consigned to the dustbin of history.

KODAO TO PREMIERE FILM ON BABY RIVER

In partnership with human rights groups Karapatan Alliance for the Advancement of People’s Rights and Kapatid, Kodao Productions will premiere a film based on the events surrounding Baby River’s death and burial.  It will be held next Saturday, October 16, at four o’clock in the afternoon.

A Call to the Philippine Army: Respect for Press Freedom in Word and Deed

Since the military by its function is not a repository of democratic values, we call on our soldiers to cease forthwith this insidious campaign to silence media and its members; to limit citizen access to views and perspectives that may differ from those held by the government in power.

The death of my daughter Kerima

My wife and I recited poems in her honor. The tribute of her Frankfurt-based sister Karenina drew applause. She recalled how she spent one night in an Isabela jail in 2001 just to be with her sister Kerima, at least for one night of her sister’s month-long detention.

NUJP: Stand with AlterMidya, Defend Press Freedom

Make no mistake, this assault on the alternative media is no different from the silencing of ABS-CBN and the continued attacks on Rappler and other critical and independent news organizations that insist on fulfilling our role of watchdog, of holding power to account, of speaking truth to power.
