The Jose Maria Sison Legacy Foundation (JMSLF) launched a series of activities in February to celebrate what would have been Comrade Jose Maria Sison’s 87th birthday on February 8. The group also marked the first anniversary of the foundation’s establishment. These events carried the theme “Rejoice, Rectify, Remember: Commemorating the Life and Legacy of Jose Maria Sison.”

On February 8, the foundation screened the film The Guerilla is a Poet followed by a gathering and meal to honor Ka Joma’s birthday. It held a discussion on February 21 on the legacy of the First Quarter Storm, with Julie de Lima, Siegfred Deduro, Boni Ilagan, and Judy Taguiwalo serving as speakers. A special tour of the JMS Museum in the Netherlands was conducted on February 28.

Friends, comrades, activists from various local organizations, and community members supporting the foundation attended the events and gatherings. “The different generations of activists who came together for these activities reflect the steady influence of Ka Joma’s leadership,” the JMSLF said.
