September 21, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Pambansang Katipunan ng mga Magbubukid-Bicol |

“Land for the tillers!” The peasants’ demand still reverberates especially now under Marcos II’s regime. This has never changed, wavered nor has been forgotten. Try as the Marcoses’ might, the generation after generation of peasants who have always been deprived of land and justice from the very beginning will be immovable cornerstones who shall protect […]

Neither imperialism nor bourgeois dictatorship but dictatorship of the proletariat led by the Party will prevail
September 21, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | Christians for National Liberation (CNL) |

The Christians for National Liberation (CNL), the underground revolutionary political organization of Christians, vehemently denounces the bourgeois Philippine government’s claim that puppet, dictator, tyrant, and deposed Ferdinand Marcos Sr. left behind a “golden age of peace and prosperity.” We exclaim with a resounding voice that never it was. Instead, it was a “darkest age of […]

Tayo naman ngayon: Panata ng kasakukuyang henerasyon sa pagpapatuloy ng laban para sa tunay na katarungan at kalayaan
September 21, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

Ngayong ika-50 anibersaryo ng Batas Militar, dapat pakatandaan ng lahat na napakamahal ng kalayaang tinatamasa ng henerasyong ito. Ang bawat hibla ng demokrasyang mayroon ngayon ay pinagbayaran ng luha, dugo at buhay ng hindi mabilang na mga ina, ama, anak at kapatid ng naunang salinlahi. Pinuhunanan ito ng mayayamang buhay ng mga anak ng bayang […]

This 50th anniversary of Martial Law, it must be remembered how high the costs of the liberties, that this present generation enjoys, are. Every tiny shred of democracy there is today was paid for by tears, blood and lives of countless mothers, fathers, children, brothers and sisters of the previous generation. The way was paved […]

Kababaihan lumaban at lumaya! Ipagpatuloy ang laban!
September 21, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Makabayang Kilusan ng Bagong Kababaihan-Bicol |

Isa sa pinakamalalagim na yugto ng kasaysayan ng kababaihang Pilipino ang batas militar ng 1972. Ilang libong kababaihan ang naging biktima ng tortyur, panggagahasa, abusong sekswal at sikolohikal, iligal na pag-aresto hanggang pamamaslang. Napakaraming tulad nina Yolanda Gordula, Lorena Barros, Liliosa Hilao, Rizalina Ilagan, Leticia Ladlad at Jessica Sales na kung hindi iligal na inaresto […]

There are a thousand like Yolanda Gordula, Lorena Barros, Liliosa Hilao, Rizalina Ilagan, Leticia Ladlad and Jessica Sales who if not illegally arrested […]

Paglingkurin ang mga likha’t kataga para sa pagtatanggol sa kasaysayan ng mamamayan!
September 21, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Artista at Manunulat ng Sambayanan-Bicol |

Isang aral na natutunan ng mga alagad ng sining sa panahon ng batas militar ni Marcos, Sr. ay na ang sining ay hindi para sa sining lamang. Ang sining ay para at tungkol sa masa. Ito ay may dapat panigan. Sumasalamin sa buhay at pakikibaka ng masang siya ring nagsulat at naghulma. Ang sining ay […]
