“Ito ay bahagi ng nagpapatuloy na crackdown sa hanay ng mga kritiko ng rehimen. Nagluluksa kami ngayon. Ano pa ba ang gusto ninyo, pinatay na ninyo ang aming ama. Ano pa ba ang gusto ninyo gawin, yurak-yurakan pa? Hindi pa ba kayo kuntento. Bigyan ninyo kami ng panahon na magluksa. Bigyan ninyo kami ng panahon na alayan ng dignidad ang aming ama. Bigyan ninyo kami ng panahon na maningil at maniningil kami sa takdang panahon.” — Ariel Casilao, Former Representative, Anakpawis Party List

“Pinatay siya hindi dahil siya ay rebelde, hindi [dahil] siya ay may ginagawang krimen. Bali pinatay siya dahil sa kaniyang paghahangad ng tunay na kapayapaan. Saan tayo nakakita, anong klaseng sistema ito, na ang mga taong naghahangad ng kapayapaan ay marahas na pinapatay?” — Teddy Casiño, Spokesperson, Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN)

“Farmers are seeking for urgent production subsidy to aid them in cropping and food production. However, DA chose to channel the budget to projects that are vulnerable to corruption.
The projects listed by DA under ALPAS-COVID all have lump sum budget without specific details on the actual implementation and target beneficiaries. We demand full transparency on the utilization of funds as well as the list of beneficiaries who have received cash aid, loans, and other assistance from DA and its agencies.”

Nagtipon sa tulay ng Mendiola sa Maynila ang mga progresibong grupo sa pangunguna ng Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas upang gunitain ang masaker na pumatay sa 13 magsasaka noong 1987.
Kasabay ng panawagan ng hustisya para sa mga martir ng Mendiola ay ang pagpapatuloy ng usapang pangkapayapaan sa pagitan ng National Democratic Front of the Philippines at Government of the Republic of the Philippines na ang susunod na adyenda ay ang Comprehensive Agreement on Socio-Economic Reforms kabilang na ang tunay na reporma sa lupa para sa mga magsasaka.

The firearms and explosives the
Philippine National Police (PNP) said it confiscated from its raids of offices
of activist organizations in Bacolod City Thursday night are recycled from
their old anti-loose firearms operations, the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas
(KMP) said.
“The loose firearms are from their own ‘Tokhang
Kontra Guinadili-an nga Pusil’ that were rounded in previous police operations,”
KMP chairperson Danilo Ramos said in a statement, adding the “planting” of
evidence is an old trick in the government’s playbook of political repression.
“Matagal nang ginagawa ng pulis itong tanim baril, tanim
ebidensya,” Ramos said. (The
police had long been known to plant guns, plant evidence.)
Ramos pointed out to the video posted by community journalist Anne Krueger before she herself was arrested as proof the guns and grenades were from the composite police and military raiding teams.
In the video, Krueger, who was then at
the Gabriela office, and a companion could be heard saying they do not own the
bag police operatives said were found in a dark corner of the office’s
backyard.
“We just cleaned that area and this is
the first time we are seeing that bag. That is not ours, that is yours,” the
unidentified Gabriela member said in the video.
“Buking
na buking na ang pulis at militar sa mga pagtatanim nila ng mga baril at
ebidensya,” Ramos said in his statement. (The police and the military are
notorious for planting guns as so-called evidence.)
The Bacolod PNP said it seized 14 caliber .45
pistols, nine caliber .38 revolvers, and a hand grenade from the local offices
of Kilusang Mayo Uno, Gabriela, and Anakpawis in Barangay Bata, and two other
offices, including the one occupied by the National Federation of Sugar Workers
in Barangay 33.
“It was CIDG operatives who
brought and planted the pistols, revolvers, submachine guns, ammo magazines,
and live bullets. The Bacolod City Police Office and the PNP Regional Office-7
have an armory of almost 10,000 old and rusty firearms that they usually
recycle for planting of evidences,” Ramos added.
Presidential Communications and Operations Office secretary
Martin Andanar meanwhile defended the police and the military, denying the guns
and grenade were planted.
“We assert that any allegations that the raids conducted were
a form of harassment are simply false and we have hard evidence secured to
prove our argument,” Andanar added.
Bayan Muna Party however said the judge who issued the search
warrant used in the Bacolod raids must publicize her special docket book to
prove that court procedures were strictly followed.
Bayan Muna Representative Carlos Zarate pointed out that while Manila and Quezon City (QC) executive judges are authorized to
issue warrants upon application by the PNP and the National Bureau of Investigation,
the applications “shall
be personally endorsed by the heads of such agencies.”
“Did the OIC PNP Chief endorse it? Under the rules the judge
must ensure that the application is endorsed by the head of agency, otherwise
she would be violating the rules for issuing the warrant,” Zarate asked.
Bayan Muna chairperson Neri Colmenares also pointed that the executive judges “shall keep a special docket book listing names
of Judges to whom the applications are assigned, the details of the
applications and the results of the searches and seizures made pursuant to the
warrants issued.”
“We are calling on the Supreme Court, especially Chief Justice
Diosdado Peralta, to review the actions of the QC RTC Judge, and for the
Supreme Court to provide mechanisms to discipline judges who abuse legal
processes and merely accede to baseless applications for search warrant by
state forces,” Colmenares said.
Executive Judge
Cecilyn Burgos-Villavert of Branch 89 of the Regional Trial Court in Quezon
City issued the search warrants. # (Raymund
