The Duterte government’s response to the pandemic has been a big failure. The people are mired in hunger and joblessness even as the virus continues to spread after almost three months under lockdown. The regime squandered the people’s sacrifices in one of the world’s longest lockdown. It did not strength the health system. It did […]

Migrante Philippines strongly condemned the Duterte regime for its garbage-like treatment of returning overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who are now queued in Metro Manila due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Hindi na nakagugulat ang “suspensyon” ni Rodrigo Duterte sa terminasyon ng Visiting Forces Agreement na pinirmahan niya noong Pebrero 14. Noon pa man, batid nang hindi ito itutuloy. Nais lamang ni Duterte na dagdagan ng US ang pondo at armas na ibinibigay nito sa kanyang rehimen. Iniatras ito ni Duterte matapos pinayagan siya ng US […]
The debt-addict Duterte regime is exploiting the Covid-19 pandemic to secure onerous loans under the guise of stimulating the economy and aid distribution.

Should the loans be implemented, the national debt is expected to reach […]
Nagbalik-lansangan ang daan-daang aktibista matapos ang halos tatlong buwang lockdown para tutulan ang panukalang “kontra-terorismo” ng rehimeng Duterte. Nagtipon ang isang libong raliyista sa loob ng University of the Philippines (UP)-Diliman sa Quezon City at iba pa sa Laguna noong Hunyo 4 habang iniraratsada ang panukala sa mababang kapulungan. Nagkaroon din ng mga pagkilos noong […]
Nalatantad noong nakaraang buwan ang maanomalyang pagbili ng rehimeng Duterte ng napakamahal na mga kagamitang medikal.

Karaniwang makakabili ng PPE sa halagang P400-P1,000 […]
Palpak ang tugon ng rehimeng Duterte sa pandemyang Covid-19. Lugmok sa gutom at kawalang trabaho ang mamamayan habang patuloy na nananalasa ang bayrus matapos ang halos tatlong buwang lockdown. Winaldas nito ang mga sakripisyo ng mamamayan sa isa sa pinakamatagal na lockdown sa buong mundo. Hindi nito pinalakas ang sistema sa kalusugan. Walang isinagawang mass […]
