As usual, civilians pay the price for the 54th Infantry Battalion’s dogged but vain chase of Red guerrillas within the interiors of Ifugao. Reports indicate that more than a hundred families from Barangay Namal, Asipulo have evacuated to escape the militarization of their ancestral lands. This means leaving behind their homes, their farm animals and […]
If there is any indication that the so-called Solid North is a myth, it is that the people of Cordillera has a tribal culture that is deeply rooted in common welfare which ensures that its members are kept trustworthy and responsible for one’s own mistakes. It thus gives utmost importance to truth and historical accuracy, […]
For the Filipino people, the idea of another Marcos presidency is largely unimaginable. Yet, it must ultimately lead to another thought: That the needed change must be systemic and armed revolution is the only way towards it. The Cordillera People’s Democratic Front thus enjoins organized forces, of the region and elsewhere, to greet Bongbong Marcos’ […]
The Filipino people are angry and rightly so. The Commission on Elections, representative of the current political system, has failed them once again by facilitating a possible return of the Marcos family into the highest position in the land. Though not totally surprising, it is a betrayal so great and blatant that the people are […]

The Cordillera Day is a massive collective action that resulted from the peoples’ anguish and grief over the Marcoses’ greed, injustice and violence. Born out of the martyrdom of Ama Macliing Dulag, this annual gathering is now also an occasion to celebrate the national minorities’ strength in action and its force as an organization. Today, […]
Another string in its long-winded script of the localized peace talks drama. This is how the Cordillera People’s Democratic Front (CPDF) describes as it condemns and denounce the another round of the fascist and tyrant Duterte regime’s recycled peace talks script with the fake non-existent Cordillera People’s Liberation Army (CPLA) rebel group, held last April […]
April 9th and the rest of the year are all days of valor for the masses. In Cordillera, especially, valor is every single day of defending the rights of a national minority.
