Four years of NTF-ELCAC, four years of rabid fascism
November 07, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

It has been four years since the tyrant Duterte masterminded the creation of National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict. Under its enforcement, government agencies were obliged to participate in Duterte’s war against the populace. From the outset, the nation has experienced nothing but ever worsening magnitudes of rabid fascism and endless human […]

Apat na taon ng NTF-ELCAC, apat na taon ng nag-uulol na pasismo
November 07, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

Apat na taon na mula nang ipakana ng tiranong si Duterte ang pagbuo sa National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict. Sa bisa nito, inobliga ang lahat ng mga ahensya ng gubyernong lumahok sa gera kontramamamayan ni Duterte. Mula nang umiral ito, nag-uulol na pasismo at walang katapusang paglabag sa karapatang tao ang […]

Bicol has long been in a state of calamity under the semicolonial and semifeudal system
November 04, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

The country has not even recovered from the damages wrought by past typhoons but now, it is besieged with yet another – Typhoon Paeng. As in the past, the nation has no semblance of any decent defense nor preparation against storms. Hundreds of millions of properties are destroyed and lost. Because Bikol is one of […]

Matagal nang nasa state of calamity ang Bikol sa ilalim ng sistemang malakolonyal at malapyudal
November 04, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

Hindi pa nga nakababangon mula sa danyos na dala ng mga nagdaang bagyo, muli na namang binayo ang bansa ng Bagyong Paeng. Tulad nang dati, walang anumang makabuluhang paghahanda at depensa ang bansa mula sa mga bagyo. Daan-daang milyong halaga ng mga ari-arian ang nawasak at nawala. Dahil isa sa mga pinakamalubhang tinamaan ang Bikol, […]

May pulitika ang mga salita! Labanan ang pagtatanggal ng terminong batas militar sa kurikulum!
October 23, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

Pinakabago sa mga pakana ng pagbabaluktot ng kasaysayan ang pagtatanggal ng terminong ‘batas militar’ sa lahat ng mga aklat at kurikulum sa paaralan at pagpalit dito ng ‘bagong lipunan’. Ang usaping ito ay hindi lamang simpleng isyu ng semantika. May pulitika ang mga salita. Sa pagpapalit-termino, itinatatwa rin ang kasaysayan at iniralang konteksto ng orihinal […]

Words are political! Oppose the removal of the term martial law from the education curriculum!
October 23, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

Latest among the maneuvers to distort history is the attempt to replace the term ‘martial law’ with ‘new society’ in all books and across all school curricula. The issue here is not simple semantics. Words are political. By changing the terminology, the history and context in which the word was originally used is lost. This […]

Buwan ng mga Magsasaka, buwan ng pakikibaka
October 21, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

Ginugunita ng buong bansa ang Buwan ng mga Magsasaka nang mayroong kakambal na malaki at kritikal na hamon: mapagpasyang paglaban sa mga atake ng rehimeng Marcos II. Tulad ng kanyang ama, ang mga patakaran ni Marcos II ay pulos patakaran ng pang-aapi at pagsasamantala. Walang ni kaunting pagpapahalaga ang pinakabagong kinatawan ngayon ng mga naghaharing-uri […]

Peasant month, a month of struggle
October 21, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

The country commemorates the Peasant month this year along with an urgent and critical challenge: decisively combat all attacks of the Marcos II regime. Like his father, Marcos II’s programs are wholly policies of oppression and exploitation. The ruling elite’s current head does not value the primary force of this nation – the peasantry. Marcos […]

AFP-PNP, tigilan na ang pang-aatake sa mga kagawad ng midya!
October 19, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

Wala talagang patawad ang pagkaberdugo ng mersenaryong hukbo. Kahit ang pagkakapaslang sa mamamahayag na si Percival ‘Percy Lapid’ Mabasa ay ginamit nilang tuntungan para pailalim na makapangharas at maiparamdam ang kanilang pagmamanman sa mga kagawad ng midya. Ilang mga mamamahayag ang nagsiwalat na pinuntahan sila ng mga hindi unipormadong pulis sa kanilang mga pribadong tirahan […]

AFP-PNP, stop attacks on members of the press!
October 19, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

The mercenary army’s thirst for blood really knows no bounds. They hijacked even the death of journalist Percival ‘Percy Lapid’ Mabasa to justify their cunning harassment and muscle-flexing against members of the press. A number of journalists have revealed that police elements in civilian clothing have recently visited their private residences under the guise of […]
