The perfect storm swirls in the Philippines. The political and socioeconomic crisis of the semicolonial and semifeudal ruling system has become extreme and has made the reactionary state and the ruling classes of big compradors, landlords and corrupt bureaucrats once more incapable of ruling in the old bourgeois-democratic way. Reminiscent of the period of the […]
I was a guest in a recent international webinar on the wanton violations of human rights and the rampant use of Oplan Tokhang methods by the military and police minions of the Duterte regime to torture and murder NDFP political consultants, social activists, human rights defenders and indigenous people . Other speakers and inquirers from […]
It was Duterte who kept blabbering about joining a coalition government with the Communist Party of the Philippines when he was an unreliable and unstable bureaucrat capitalist ally and was ingratiating himself with the revolutionary movement as a Davao City mayor and when he was seeking the support of the legal democratic forces when he […]
The US is most hostile to revolutionary movements for national and social liberation and tries to misrepresent them as “terrorist.” Thus, it has directed and prodded its puppets in the Philippines to enact an anti-terrorism law. The Communist Party of the Philippines, the New People’s Army, the revolutionary organizations and the people’s democratic government abhor terrorism.
The return of hundreds of thousands and eventually millions of overseas Filipino workers will make ever more untenable and incendiary the chronic crisis of the underdeveloped and semifeudal economy of the Philippines. They are rejoining the ranks of the unemployed, where the hope of employment has been dimmed by the plunder of the public treasury, […]
Read in: English Misubay si Duterte sa iyang pinasulat nga pamulong aron ilikay ang UN General Assembly sa iyang kasagarang pagpamalikas atubangan sa mga Pilipinong tigpaminaw.

Daw maagnihon siyang paminawon dihang miingon […]
Read in: Bisaya Duterte kept to his ghost-written speech and was able to spare the UN General Assembly from his usual vulgarities before Philippine audiences. But he could not avoid dishing a number of lies and slanderous remarks against his own compatriots who are victims of his maladminsitration and human right violations. He sounded most […]
With the verbatim quote below from the ruffian (butangero) in power or the Devil himself, we are forewarned unwittingly by Duterte himself that he and his armed agents of state terrorism will soon carry out waves of false flag operations to sway public opinion that their own acts of terrorism are daily occurrences committed by […]
At the peak of his narcissistic arrogance and greed for political power and ill-gotten wealth, Duterte has signed into law the bill of state terrorism that he had railroaded together with his servants in both houses of Congress, mostly beneficiaries of the rigging of the 2019 elections. This law of state terrorism nullifies the basic […]
In tactical terms, Duterte has still enough power and enough armed minions to abuse the people and act like a real tiger. He can still kill any specific social activist, critic or anyone opposed to his brutal and corrupt regime. He can still persecute journalists, lawyers, human rights defenders, bishops, priests and opposition leaders as […]
