Today, Feb. 7, Bulatlat marks its 10th anniversary. While we have every reason to celebrate this occasion, it is important to point out that the conditions that we set out to chronicle a decade ago that were, in fact, our raison d’être — economic backwardness, human-rights abuses, landlessness, political persecution, corruption, to name a few — still persist.

Idagdag pa rito ang madalas na pagkakasangkot ng militar, paramilitary na grupo, maging ang war lords, sa paglabag ng karapatang pantao. Ang ibig sabihin nito, kahit pa show window ng isang demokratikong bansa ang pagpapatupad sa karapatang pantao, mismong ang mga koersibong aparato ng estado ang gumagamit sa karahasan—kasama ang paglabag sa karapatang pantao—para sa pagtataguyod ng tradisyonal na politikang sistema ng bansa, na ang epekto, ay nagtataguyod ng global na sistema ng kapitalismo.
Welcome to “On the Fringes,” the group blog of the staff of Bulatlat.com.
Here, the staff of one of Philippines’s most credible alternative online publications will blog about people’s issues that are rarely tackled in the mainstream press. This blog will complement Bulatlat’s reporting, featuring posts and stories that cannot be found in the main site.
We hope this blog would encourage dialogue between the staff and our readers.
Enjoy your visit.
