Intellectual ferment for armed struggle among the youth and urban intellectuals has long been stirring, especially under the openly repressive Duterte regime. This ferment cannot be killed by Secretary Lorenzana by abrogating the UP-DND accord.

Matagal nang napupukaw pabor sa armadong pakikibaka ang kamalayan ng mga kabataan at intelektwal sa kalunsuran, lalo na sa ilalim ng lantarang panunupil ng rehimeng Duterte. Hindi ito mapupuksa ni Secretary Lorenzana sa pagbabasura ng kasunduang UP-DND.

Ang planong idambana sa konstitusyon ng Pilipinas ang pang-ekonomyang liberalisasyon, sa katunayan, ay mas mapaminsala sa pangmatagalan, kaysa sa tinutuligsang pag-amyenda sa mga prubisyong pampulitika […]
Read in: Pilipino Assurances made by leaders of the House of Representatives that their push for amending the 1987 constitution will be limited only to economic provisions does not make the plan less evil.
