Duterte threatened by US rebuff while mass movement advances against him February 6’s Senate hearing about the long-demanded termination of the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) left the Filipino people dissatisfied, if not unsurprised. Short of articulating their opposition to Rodrigo Duterte’s statement who supposedly pushes to end the VFA, the Upper Chamber’s deliberation of the […]
Kinukundena ng NDF-Bikol at mamamayang Bikolano ang pagbibitbit ng AFP ng kanilang kontramamamayang adyenda sa ibayong-dagat sa harap ng krisis na kinakaharap ng bansa. Habang kapos na kapos ang rekurso para sa mga rescue operations, tulong pampinansyal at rehabilitasyon sa masang nasa Timog Katagalugan at Kabikulang hinaharap nang sabay-sabay ang pag-aalburoto ng Bulkang Taal at […]
Garapalang winawaldas ng rehimeng US-Duterte ang kabang bayan para sa huwad na gera kontra-terorismo. Hindi na masikmura kahit ng mismong mga upisyal ng sibilyang ahensya ang garapalang pangungurakot at paggastos ng pera ng taumbayan para sa pasistang panunupil. Noong Pebrero 3, mismong si DICT Usec Eliseo Rio na ang bumitiw sa pwesto dahil sa […]
Mahigpit na nakikiisa ang MSP-Bikol at MAKIBAKA-Bikol sa panawagan ng mamamayan para sa libre at abot-kayang serbisyong pangkalusugan. Ang kawalang-aksyon ng rehimeng US-Duterte sa kinakaharap na paglala ng kumakalat na novel Corona Virus (2019-nCoV) ay isang patunay na walang maaasahang pagbabago o makamasang hakbang mula sa pasistang rehimen. Ilang araw pa matapos ibalita ang pagkalat […]

The 81st Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army (IBPA), together with La Union’s police force, started the year with something they do best: violating human rights. Borne out of constant practice, their opening salvo for this year’s wave of Red-tagging, harassment and intimidation is as good as perfected, especially against the unarmed populace. Intensified human […]
By his own policies and actions, Duterte has defined his legacy. It is a malignant one characterized by treason, tyranny, butchery, corruption and deception. 1. Treason and Double Puppetry Contrary to his lie that he has an independent foreign policy, he is a steadfast puppet of US imperialism subject to US direction and logistical requirements […]
Ipaglaban ang karapatan sa lupa, daungan, at pangisdaan! Labanan ang pang-aagaw sa baybay-dagat ng sindikatong Paulino Ramos at mga kasabwat! Labanan ang mapaminsalang proyektong ekoturismo ng rehimeng US-Duterte! Labis na naghirap. Walang kasiguraduhan sa panirahan at kabuhayan. Laging nasa panganib ang buhay sa karagatan. Ito ang abang kalagayan ng mga mangingisda sa baybay-dagat ng Botolan, […]
