Reports indicate that more than a hundred families from Barangay Namal, Asipulo have evacuated to escape the militarization of their ancestral lands. This means leaving behind their homes, their farm animals and […]

Another string in its long-winded script of the localized peace talks drama. This is how the Cordillera People’s Democratic Front (CPDF) describes as it condemns and denounce the another round of the fascist and tyrant Duterte regime’s recycled peace talks script with the fake non-existent Cordillera People’s Liberation Army (CPLA) rebel group, held last April […]
April 9th and the rest of the year are all days of valor for the masses. In Cordillera, especially, valor is every single day of defending the rights of a national minority. It is the daily struggle of asserting the right to self-determination while eking out a livelihood with barely decent assistance from the government. […]

Traditional politicians suddenly feigning concern for farmers and other marginalized sectors; candidates making vague and broad promises to change long existing social […]
