March 30, 2015
Marking the first day of the Holly week, Anakpawis together with urban poor group Kalipunan ng Damayang Mahihirap (KADAMAY) today staged their own progressive version of the passion of the Christ. It cited six major issues of the people in which President Noynoy Aquino failed to address — landlessness, low wage, demolition of urban poor, massive conversion of local fishing grounds, the continuing neglect of Yolanda survivors, unabated skyrocketing of prices and basic utilities.
LARAWAN: KMP: Aquino walang silbi sa mamamayan, palayasin sa Malacañang
/in News /by Kodao ProductionsNanawagan ang mga magsasaka, mga tsuper at maralitang taga-lunsod sa harap ng Malacañang kaninang umaga na paalisin na sa pwesto si pangulong Noynoy Aquino. Hindi lamang anila dahil sa kanyang malaking kasalanan sa insidente sa Mamasapano kung hindi dahil sa kabiguan ng pamahalaan nito na mabigyan ng sapat na hanapbuhay, tamang sweldo at lupa ang masang anakpawis.

LARAWAN: Students hold ‘blackout’ campus walkouts against Mamasapano ‘yellow-washing’
/in News /by Kodao ProductionsThousands of students walked out of classes today to call for the resignation of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III over the Mamasapano offensive a day after the Board of Inquiry released their report on the bloody operations.
The students also condemned the “unlimited” tuition hikes under the Aquino government. They called for justice for Rosana Sanfuego and Kristel Tejada, students who took their lives after they were unable to pay for tuition and campus fees.
The students opposed the “yellow-washing” of the Mamasapano investigations and condemned the Aquino government’s efforts to “cover-up and hide the truth from the public.”
In UP, campus administrators including UP Diliman Chancellor Michael Tan and several college deans took part in the protests.
Campus walkouts started at 10am and “blackout” marches in campuses were held in the afternoon.
Students from the University of the East, Ateneo de Manila University, Miriam College, National Teachers College and many others also held campus “Blackout Protests for Justice.” Similar youth protests were also held in Baguio, Pampanga, Laguna, Legazpi, Iloilo, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, and Davao.
“The BOI report further exposes BS Aquino as a liar and a traitor. That American soldiers were seen in the command posts confirms that they were running the show. Aquino betrayed the nation and sacrificed the lives of Filipinos in the altar of US terror war. Buking na buking na po kayo ng taumbayan, Mr. PNoychio,” said Vencer Crisostomo, national chairperson of Anakbayan.
Crisostomo meanwhile said the BOI report may have already been doctored when it was not released immediately to “yellow-wash” President Aquino’s role. He also said the refusal to continue the hearings in the lower house, the termination of the Senate hearings and the suspension order on Makati Mayor Junjun Binay are part of efforts to “misdirect and deceive.”
“Aquino is entangled in his own web of lies. His desperate efforts anger the Filipino people further. Today we walkout against BS; no more lies, no more injustice, no more impunity,” he said.

ITANONG MO KAY PROF: Podcast on Transition Council
/in News, Radio, Videos /by Kodao ProductionsPanayam ng Kodao Productions kay Prof. Jose Maria Sison hinggil sa transition council.
MARCH 4, 2015
1. Ano po ang ibig sabihin ng transition council? Kailan po ito itinatayo o binubuo?
JMS: Sa aking pag-unawa, ibig sabihin ng transition council ay temporayo at tulay lamang sa isang permanente o regular na kaayusan. Puedeng palitan agad si Aquino ng konseho at bigyan daan ang elekyson para palitan siya. Puedeng itayo o buuin ang konseho bago pa mapatalsik si Aquino.
2. Sino-sino ang bumubuo sa transition council at anong kapangyarihan meron ito?
JMS: Pwedeng buuin ang transition council ng mga personahe na dating nannungkulan nang marangal sa gobyerno at mga kinatawan ng mga mayor na pwersang magpapatalsik kay Aquino. Pwedeng patakbuhin ng council ang gobyerno hanggang ihalal ang kapalit ni Aquino.
3. Ano po ang inyong pananaw sa mga nag-iisip na si Binay kasi ang papalit (na isa ring corrupt) kaya pagtiyagaan na lamang si Pnoy at hintayin ang election?
JMS: Pwedeng council ang magpatakbo sa gobyerno sa halip na si Binay, kung kaya ng masang patalsikin si Aquino at may suporta ng pulis at militar. Masama na panatilihin ang isang masamang lider sa takot na masama ang papalit. Mabuti naman ang konseho bilang kapalit. Pagsikapan na mangibabaw ang konseho sa halip na tanggapin na lamang na manatili ang masamang lider.
4. Sa inyong pagtingin, aalis po ba sa pwesto si Pnoy?
JMS: Kapit tuko yan sa kapangyarihan tulad ng mga kasabwat niyang masisiba. Magtagumpay man o hindi ang kilusang pagpapatalsik, makakalikha ng lakas ng masa para tiyakin na malitis at maparasuhan si Aquino at mga kasabwat niya kapag tapos na ang termino nila. Kung maghalukipkip na lamang tayo, hindi magkakaroon ng hustisya sa kahulihan.
5. Ano po ang inyong pagtingin sa ginawang pagdinig ng Kongreso at Senado sa Mamasapano incident? Marami po ang hindi nasiyahan sa resulta dahil sa pag-iwas na kundinahin ang Amerika at si Noynoy Aquino.
JMS: Lumilitaw na hindi ganap at puspusan ang imbestigasyon. Hindi tinuunan ang pananagutan ng US at ni Aquino. Galit ang maraming pulis at militar kay Aquino dahil ipinahamak niya ang sariling tauhan at umayaw siya sa pagsaklolo sa kanila sa loob ng maraming oras.
Dagdag na tanong:
1. Meron po ba kayong mensahe sa pandaigdigang araw ng kababaihan?
JMS: Taus puso akong bumabati sa kababaihang Pilipina sa araw ng kababaihan. Dapat ipaglaban nila ang pagkakapantay sa kalalakihan sa lahat ng gawain at pagpupunyagi sa lipunan. Ibayong uunlad ang lipunan kung ang kalahati nito, ang kababaihan, ay lubusang may laya at pagkakataon na iambag ang kaya nila sa pulitika, ekonomya, kultura at ibang larangan ng sosyal na pagsisikap.
