Batanes in the crosshairs: Resisting Chinese territorial revisionism and U.S.-Japanese militarization in the Luzon Strait

Batanes in the crosshairs: Resisting Chinese territorial revisionism and U.S.-Japanese militarization in the Luzon Strait

The pre-colonial Ivatan society, defined by its fortified idjangs (mountain fortresses) and autonomous participation in the Maritime Jade Road, was a sovereign entity. To subsume their heritage under a Chinese claim based on ancient trade networks or proximity is an epistemic assault.

Rights defenders decry DOJ red-tagging stance

“Such practices amount to intimidation, discourage engagement with international bodies and prevent HRDs from accessing assistance and remedies available to them through international human rights mechanisms.”

Phl has most number of ‘desaparecidos’ in SEA

Two days apart this week, two important commemorations took place. One evoked a resounding plea for long-delayed justice; the other, for the resumption of peace negotiations to attain just and lasting peace. In each case, concerned groups and advocates urged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to act positively.

Balik-Tanaw | Rest

The setting of the sun signals the time to come home, a time for rest from the daily toils. But for the poor workers in highly urbanized areas rest is a luxury. The none-stop rotation of work propagated by capitalism, rest is counter-productive.

At Ground Level | Two similar killings, two decades apart

In the early 2000s, government soldiers brutally killed a couple, Expedito and Manuela Albarillo, in a surprise attack on their home in San Teodoro, Mindoro Oriental. Their bodies, mutilated by the intense gunfire, were dragged out of their house by the perpetrators, later identified as Philippine Army soldiers commanded by then Col. Jovito Palparan Jr.

KONTEKSTO

DANILO ARAO

Higit pa sa tubo

Ang patuloy na pagpapayaman at pagpapalakas ng kapangyarihan ng mga kapitalista ay nangyayari sa patuloy na pagpapahirap at pagpapahina ng mga manggagawa. Ang tanong sa puntong ito: Nagtatagumpay kaya sila? Hindi po.
Pansinin ang sunud-sunod na welga sa iba’t ibang lugar ng Pilipinas. Iisa ang mga panawagan, iba-iba lang ang pangalan ng mga opisina’t pagawaan. Iisa rin ang solusyon ng kapitalista’t pamahalaan, iba-iba nga lang ang porma: Karahasan.

Paglalakbay na naantala, salamat sa kapitalista

Kapitalismo rin ang dahilan kung bakit hindi pinapansin ang reklamo ng mga naagrabyadong pasahero. Walang pakialam ang mga negosyante sa naantalang iskedyul o maging sa buhay o kamatayang sitwasyon (kung mayroon man) ng mga pasahero. Para sa kanilang basta-basta na lang itinatakda ang pagbabago sa iskedyul ng biyahe ng mga pasahero nila, sapat na ang tokenistang paghingi ng paumanhin. Tahimik na lang sila sa kanilang pagkamal ng milyon-milyong kita (o baka naman bilyon-bilyon!).
