At Ground Level | How far EDCA sites will be used remains unclear

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said those investments “will spur job creation and economic growth in local Philippine communities.” His enthusiasm may have exhilarated the current administration, especially the defense establishment. But to us, the Filipino people, one crucial issue remains unclear, even disturbing: how exactly or to what extent the American forces will use the EDCA sites.

Balik-Tanaw | Palm Sunday of the Lord’s passion

It’s Holy Week, a moment of reflection, getting together, family and friends bonding moment, a break from hectic days, or a celebration from heydays. Wherever we are, I assume that we pray and reflect on these days apart from gallivanting and jubilating.

‘Unwise and rash’ move to ‘disengage’ from ICC

We don’t have a next move, that is the extent of our involvement with the ICC. That ends all our involvement with the ICC. Because we will no longer appeal, the appeal has failed and there is, in our view, nothing more that we can do in the government and so at this point we essentially are disengaging from any contact, from any communication with the ICC.”

Patay na ang Contractual King pero patuloy ang legasiya ng sistemang kontraktwal sa loob ng SM. 99% ng kanilang mga manggagawa ay contractual kaya mas dapat i-expose ang kabulukan ng sistemang ito.

2015: Victories and challenges, inspiration and optimism

The year that was, 2015, was replete with historic moments full of victories and challenges for the environmental movement. It holds lessons and inspirations that can serve as a compass through the trials that must be hurdled in 2016.

Mandirigma sa kalye

Kung sinusubaybayan mo ang balita, alam mong humihingi ang Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) sa gobyerno ng humigit-kumulang P430 milyon. Dahil sa napakalaking halaga nito, alam ko na ang nasa isip mo: “Kaninong bulsa na naman kaya ang tataba dahil dito?”

Para sa estudyante ng UP CMC

Sa gitna ng namuong galit sa maraming tao (malamang kasama ka rito), may dalawang bagay na baka nakaligtaan: (1) Nangyari ang GC hindi kamakailan lang kundi ilang taon na ang nakalipas; at (2) Bago ikinalat ang GC sa social media, matingkad ang usapin ng hazing hindi sa UP kundi sa Philippine Military Academy (PMA). Kaya may dalawang pundamental na tanong sa puntong ito: (1) Kung ang GC ay nangyari noon pa, posible kayang nagbago na ang dating hindi katanggap-tanggap na perspektiba ng mga sangkot sa isyu? (2) Sa kasalukuyan, sino ang makikinabang kung ang pampublikong atensyon sa isyu ng hazing ay mapupunta hindi sa PMA kundi sa UP?

Pesteng trapiko

Sang-ayon ako sa suhestyong hayaan ang mga opisyal ng gobyerno, lalo na ang mga miyembro ng Gabinete, na gumamit ng pampublikong transportasyon sa pagpasok sa trabaho. Mainam na maranasan nila ang makipagsiksikan, makipagbalyahan at makipagtulakan para lang makasakay. At kung sakaling may pila sa terminal, sana nama’y maarawan o maulanan din sila sa paghihintay sa susunod na traysikel o dyip.

Joint statement: Stand with ABS-CBN, Defend Free Expression

As we have said, time and again, the fight for the ABS-CBN franchise renewal is a fight for free expression and a fight for all. But Parlade is instead red-tagging virtually everyone and anyone who supports the call for the renewal of the ABS-CBN franchise.

Arrest of relief volunteers is also an attack on free expression

The recent spate of red-tagging and brazen use of authority against media and the people’s growing dissent speak volumes of how the Duterte administration – and its emboldened security forces – are facing the COVID-19 pandemic not only with apparent incompetence, but also with its usual self-serving and despotic brand of governance.

Mensahe sa mga bagong graduate ng NSTP

Ang ating buhay ay hindi dapat ginu-Google kundi ginugugol sa isang dakilang layunin. Madaling sabihin subalit mahirap gawin dahil sa totoo lang, napakalakas ng hatak ng indibidwalistang pantasya at makasariling konsepto ng pagmamahal sa bayan.

How I survived anti-Left academics and became an activist

I was prepared to be disappointed with NatDem politics but instead, I became more immersed in their mass campaigns. I was overwhelmed with several political realizations: Here was a movement making democracy work through collective leadership, here was a political force whose strength is linked to the empowerment of its members in the grassroots, here was history claiming the present to build a new future.
