September 17, 2023 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Lupon ng Manananggol para sa Bayan-Bicol |

LUMABAN-Bikol stands with the people in condemning Ombudsman’s dismissal of cases filed by victims of red-tagging against notorious killmongers retired Lt. Col. Antonio Parlade Jr., Lorraine Badoy and other officials of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC). In Ombudsman’s defense, there is no law prohibiting red-tagging so there is no […]

Sumasahol ang klima ng impyunidad sa ilalim ng rehimeng US-Marcos Jr.

Nakikiisa ang LUMABAN-Bikol sa pagkundena sa pagbasura ng Ombudsman sa ilang mga kasong isinampa ng mga biktima ng red-tagging laban sa mga notoryosong utak-pulburang sina retiradong Lt. Col. Antonio Parlade Jr., Lorraine Badoy at iba pang upisyal ng National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC). Depensa ng Ombudsman, walang batas na nagbabawal […]

Reaksyunaryong gubyerno ng Pilipinas, tagapagtanggol ng pinakamasasahol na terorista’t kriminal
February 01, 2023 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Lupon ng Manananggol para sa Bayan-Bicol |

Isang positibong bagay para sa mga pamilya at kaanak ng humigit-kumulang 35,000 biktima ng madugo at brutal na kampanyang kontra-droga ni Duterte ang plano ng International Criminal Court (ICC) na imbestigahan muli ang sistematikong krimen ng nagdaang rehimen laban sa sibilyang populasyon. At totoo sa pagiging pasista at kontra-mamamayan nito, hindi nakapagtatakang agad itong inalmahan […]

Reactionary Philippine government, defender of vilest terrorists and criminals
February 01, 2023 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Lupon ng Manananggol para sa Bayan-Bicol |

The International Criminal Court’s plan to reopen investigations on the systematic crimes of the past regime against the civilian population is a positive move for the families of the estimated 35,000 victims of Duterte’s bloody and brutal anti-drug campaign. And true to its fascist and anti-people nature, the reactionary government predictably reacted against it. It […]

Legality and justice under a dictatorship
July 26, 2021 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Lupon ng Manananggol para sa Bayan-Bicol |

No letter of the law binds a dictator. His word is the law. His whims, his wishes, his declarations – no matter how preposterous or serious – are the laws of the land. Inevitably, justice exists only as a principle. Alas, legality and justice are never the same thing, most especially under a dictatorship. In […]

Duterte’s civilian army is an army of the ruling class
July 06, 2021 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Lupon ng Manananggol para sa Bayan-Bicol |

Duterte’s coalition of force multipliers is but a coalition of mercenaries – a rebranded paramilitary group that will serve as an extension of the AFP-PNP-CAFGU in defending and upholding the interests of his fascist regime. It will perpetuate, rather than fight criminality and terrorism. It will endanger, rather than secure the lives of the entire populace.

Isulong ang Kilusang Masa para sa Pagtatanggol ng Soberanya!
May 21, 2021 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Lupon ng Manananggol para sa Bayan-Bicol |

Ang kinabukasan ng lipunang Pilipino ang kabayaran sa lantarang pagsuko ng taksil at tutang rehimeng US-Duterte sa soberanya ng bansa sa West Philippine Sea (WPS). Sadyang malamya at patalo ang postura ni Duterte sa usaping ito dahil siya ang pangunahing nakikinabang sa gabundok na dambong at kurakot mula sa mga pautang, kontrata sa negosyo at […]

LUMABAN-Bikol on the red-tagging of universities and DND’s erroneous list of alleged NPA fighters killed in battle o arrested
February 01, 2021 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Lupon ng Manananggol para sa Bayan-Bicol |

The US-Duterte regime is putting the lives of thousands of individuals in danger by indiscriminately tagging universities, individuals and organizations as Communists, breeders of Communists or any of that sort. With its recent push to designate the CPP as a ‘terrorist organization’ under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), red-tagging will certainly lead to a wholesale violation […]

LUMABAN-Bikol on the renewed talks of charter change
January 25, 2021 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Lupon ng Manananggol para sa Bayan-Bicol |

Charter change, may the prefix be economic or political, is but any regime’s desperate attempt to secure its power. It is never meant to solve the pandemic, corruption or any deep-rooted problem in governance and our society. Rather, it is meant to aggravate that crisis. Once the constitutional assembly is formed, all control over the […]

LUMABAN-Bikol on Rep. Susan Wild’s proposal in the US Congress to stop funding for the AFP
September 30, 2020 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Lupon ng Manananggol para sa Bayan-Bicol |

The AFP is a murderous and violent institution created solely for the purpose of serving its masters and the ruling classes’ interest. It has a track record worse than any terrorist organization. Its history goes as far back as its inception as a mercenary army of US imperialism and every puppet and fascist President of […]
