Last night, Duterte attempted in vain to quash widespread talk about his secret trip to Singapore using his favorite luxurious private jet. He explained things in his usual drunken and callous self, speaking in broken sentences and slurs which clarified nothing and only confounded and confused those who listened. He succeeded only in stoking greater […]
We mark today the third anniversary of the police killing of young Kian delos Santos who was falsely accused of being a drug peddler and killed arbitrarily in the course of police drug operations. Kian’s killing puts a spotlight on the thousands of extrajudicial killings perpetrated by Duterte’s police force under his so-called drug war. […]
The Filipino people should be vigilant against the curtailment of their basic freedoms especially in the face of the Duterte regime’s exploitation of the Covid-19 pandemic to institutionalize its fascist rule. Masquerading as a public health measure, House Resolution 6864 otherwise known as the Better Normal Bill, is among the measures that are being railroaded […]
Translation: English Ang diumano’y alok ni Duterte ng libreng pagpapabakuna sa mga kasapi ng NPA ay huwad na kagandahang-loob at walang batayang pagyayabang. Malaking kasinungalingan ang sabi niyang gusto niyang “manatiling malusog” ang NPA. Ilang ulit nang pinatunayan ng tiranong si Duterte na hindi siya marunong maging makatao.

It is a good thing that the vice president laid out the proposals which give the Filipino people a clearer idea of what should be […]
In his address before congress yesterday, Duterte repeated his worn out rhetoric against “the oligarchy” in an effort to bamboozle the people and obscure the fact the he is now the country’s biggest oligarch, or more precisely, tyrant, who rules through sheer violence and terror. He devoted a significant amount of time denouncing the business […]
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) extends its solidarity to the various participants of protest actions scheduled for tomorrow across the country. The protest actions are important because there is need to counter the lies that will be spewed by the tyrant Duterte in his state of the nation address. For four years, Duterte […]
Former Associate Justice Antonio T. Carpio’s July 15 opinion piece “Are CPP-NPA rebels terrorists?” which came out in the Philippine Daily Inquirer was a very interesting read for members of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its friends and allies. Justice Carpios’ article is a sharp legal instrument that exposes a gaping hole […]
Despite Malacañang’s insistence that Duterte had no hand in the shutting down of ABS-CBN via congressional vote against its franchise last July 10, Duterte could not hide his glee yesterday when he claimed victory against the broadcast company which he falsely declared as a triumph against the oligarchy. The shutting down of ABS-CBN was […]
