This longish abstract of the paper, “Friends and Foes: Human Rights, the Philippine Left and Duterte, 2016-2017” by Jayson Lamchek and Emerson Sanchez describes accurately and adequately, in general and in the main, the “friend-and-foe” relationship (dual tactics) between Duterte and the legal national democratic forces (BAYAN and the Makabayan Bloc). It is far superior […]
Mariing kinukundena ng NDF-Bikol ang pagdukot at pagwala ng 83rd IBPA sa isang menor-de-dad. Dinakip ang bata pagkatapos ng engkwentro sa pagitan ng naturang batalyon at yunit ng NPA nitong Pebrero 1. Pagkatapos ay ilinabas pa ng 83rd IBPA ang kanyang litrato sa kanilang Facebook account at ipinangalandakan siyang child warrior ng NPA. Nananatili sa […]
The US-Duterte regime is setting the stage for a repeat of the PNP raid in the bakwit school in University of San Carlos in Cebu City—this time, it is training its guns against the Lumad in Haran sanctuary of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines in Davao City. As Duterte himself professed, the […]
Mahigpit na kinukundena ng NDF-Bikol ang pagbubuo ng ispesyal na yunit ng CAFGU para sa eleksyon 2022. Ngayong Pebrero, ibinalitang mayroon nang Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) ang gubyerno ng Camarines Sur at 9th IDPA para rito. Sa bisa nito, kargo ng mga lokal na yunit ng gubyerno ang pagpapasweldo sa kanila ngunit gagalaw pa rin […]
Anim na Bikolanong minasaker at pinatay sa loob ng isang linggo ang opening salvo ng Simultaneous Anti-Criminality Enforcement Operation o SACLEO sa rehiyon ngayong taon. Hindi katanggap-tanggap ang bulok at paulit-ulit nang iskrip ng militar at pulis sa lahat ng kasong ito – ‘nanlaban’ ang biktima at lehitimo ang operasyon dahil mayroon umano silang warrant. […]
Mariing itinatakwil ng National Democratic Front of the Philippines – Southern Tagalog (NDFP-ST) ang isinumiteng ulat ng GRP sa United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) hinggil sa mga extrajudicial killings (EJK) na naganap sa madugong gera kontra iligal na droga ng rehimeng Duterte. Malaking kalokohan ang ulat na ito dahil ang mismong gumawa ng “imbestigasyon” […]

Read in: English Hindi linikha ng rehimeng US-Duterte ang Barangay Development Program (BDP) para pakinabangan ng mamamayan. Layunin nitong bulagin ang mamamayan mula sa reyalidad – na sinasalanta ng militarisasyon ang buhay at kabuhayan ng taumbaryo, na hungkag ang lahat ng programang pangkaunlaran ng rehimen at ng galamay nitong NTF-ELCAC at walang inuusad ang kampanyang […]
Read in: Pilipino The US-Duterte regime did not create the Barangay Development Program (BDP) to benefit the people. Its sole objective is to deceive the people from reality – that militarization imperils the lives and livelihood of barrio people, that the regime and the NTF-ELCAC’s alleged development programs are good for nothing, and that the […]
We commemorate the 35th anniversary of the EDSA uprising today by remembering the valor of all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the fight for liberation from Marcos’ martial law dictatorship.
