After a Filipina antifascist's colleagues were murdered by death squads, she is on the run & seeking refuge elsewhere. The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund has stepped in to help her with her attempt to get to a safe country. Help us literally save people's lives. Support the Defence Fund.

A worker at Jollibee — a Filipino-owned fast food chain — described how when he suffered second-degree burns as a cook, he had to keep working to avoid being fired. Workers at the Jollibee restaurant in Journal Square, Jersey City, have been fired for organizing against low-paid, dangerous working conditions.

It’s these sweatshop owners and big landlords that are the biggest supporters of the Marcos-Duterte regime.

As a speaker from the New York Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines pointed out, it’s the Pentagon that’s the real power in the country. The U.S. is now at nine military bases in the supposedly sovereign Philippines.

This is how the Marcoses and Dutertes manipulated Filipinos into forgetting our own history and whitewashed their crimes and human rights injustices.

Citizens like the caller -- Josh, who sold us out for 2.5 Million Pesos a year.

Fuck you, Josh. Hindi ka Pilipino. Wag mong sabihin a job's a job kung ang trabaho mo ay nakatulong sa paglimot ng libo-libong namatay at tinorture sa rehimen ng mga Marcos at Duterte.

Nakakainis lang yung mga nagpo-post na:

Wala nang pag-asa sa Pilipinas, Aalis na lang ng Pilipinas at mangingibang bansa, pati yung mas nanaisin pang maging kangaroo sa Australia(kahit na alam mo na sarcastic lang).

Ako una si Ping, nagpunta sa presinto na si Marcos na ang iboboto. Pero sa huli, nagdasal ako sabi ko sa isip ko na Lord kayo na po bahala sa kamay ko. At dinala ako ng kamay ko kay Leni.

Hinuli ko ang pagboto sa gusto kong manalong presidente dahil importanteng desisyon yon.

Hindi naging magaan ang loob ko, kasi si Marcos nga ang nasa plano ko. Pero di ko rin namang pinagsisihang ibinoto ko si Leni dahil alam ko na wala naman siyang ginawang masama at mayroong syang angking talino para pamunuan ang bansa at ilang beses na rin niyang napatunayan ang pagmamalasakit sa mga Pilipino.

Ang hindi ko lang maunawaan ay yung mga taong nawawalan na ng loob na may pag-asa.

Huwag naman natin ipagkait sa bansa ang pagmamahal at pagmamalasakit. Hindi man manalo ang mga sinusuportahan nating kandidato, maniwala pa rin tayo na hindi mawawala ang pag-asa. Ang importante, nakilahok tayo sa karapatan nating bumoto, at ibinoto natin ang alam nating tama.

Ipanalangin natin sa Panginoon na hawakan niya ang isip at puso ng mga kandidatong mananalo.

Ipanalangin natin na sa kabila ng mga nangyaring hindi maganda sa gitna ng eleksyon ay maitama at maisantabi na ang mga ito ng mga kumandidato.

Huwag nating hayaang kainin tayo ng inis, galit, pagtataka pangangamba at takot.

Tumindig pa rin tayo at magkaisa. Para sa mapaya at maunlad na Pilipinas.👊🌸

Mabuhay Pilipinas!🇵🇭

On How the Moonies Take Advantage of Imperialist Crises in Today’s Philippines

▲ Pictured: A class at the International Peace Leadership College prior to the rehabilitation program

The Philippines has a long history of facing violence and exploitation, as well as violent repression. The brutal crackdown on alleged drug users and dealers by President Rodrigo Duterte’s “War on Drugs” is one example that has has left over 27,000, mostly from poor and working-class backgrounds, murdered.  Thousands of others have been subjected to extrajudicial killings, indiscriminate bombing, and widespread human rights abuses at the hands of the government and its security forces, under both Duterte and Marcos Jr., often for alleged "terrorist activity". This violence is directly linked to the country's history of imperialism and feudalism, which continue to shape Philippine society today. 

The Unification Church, also known as the Moonies, has taken advantage of this exploitative system in a number of ways. One way, since at least the early 90s, has been to deceive women in the Philippines into marrying men in South Korea. Many of these women joined the Unification Church out of sincere faith in Moon, believing that they had found a God-centered “solution” to the problems of society, and were receiving their “matching” out of religious duty. Many were also tricked into joining the Unification Church, having the matching and blessing framed as a career opportunity abroad, with some of their families pushing them to go through with the matching so they could send financial support back from abroad. Many of these women were of course sent to church-owned factories or to become “help” for church leaders, some were even directly brought into the sex trade, but thousands are known to have been matched to farmers in rural Korea who were not church members but had saw an ad in the newspaper put out by the UC, framing the blessing as a marriage service. According to Toshiko Tsujimoto in "Church Organization and Its Networks for the Filipino Migrants: Surviving and Empowering in Korea," the Filipino Catholic Center in Seoul had women escaping these marriages come to their doors almost every day in the 2000s, speaking up about the abuse and violence they were enduring. The UC, in cooperation with their front organization and “Abel UN” Universal Peace Federation, have also taken advantage of Duterte’s War on Drugs. The church operates the International Peace Leadership College (ILPC), which was originally a seminary for Philippine Moonies but now it trains arrested drug users in Unification theology and martial arts and "character education,” as well as having these “students” (inmates) do community service.

Many of the participants in this program eventually join the church and become members of its student group, CARP. The program has been used as a recruitment tool for the Unification Church, and its ultimate goal is to prepare a thousand missionaries to go out into the world every year.

The UC has poured millions of dollars into courting many of the Philippines’ top families belonging to this bureaucrat capitalist class that controls the government, military, and economy. The UC in the Philippines is known for their “VIP Providence,” which had members faithfully tend to the country’s top government, military, and cultural leaders. The UC has also paid many of these leaders to attend their conferences, speak at events, and become members of their various organizations and boards.  The violences of the Unification Church go back beyond the 90s, as UC members were known to have organized in the Philippines on behalf of the WACL in the 70s, and later on CAUSA and other related organizations. These organizations were also said to have funded and organized vigilante violence against communists, even supporting paramilitary “death squad” groups that are responsible for the deaths of thousands who were rumored to be connected or sympathetic to communism. This includes thousands of social workers, teachers, nuns, priests, activists, etc., since the ousting of Marcos.  These groups often coordinate with the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police, and can effectively act as a cover for the Philippine government to avoid accountability. These groups have been identified countless times posing as “New Peoples Army,” committing heinous terrorist attacks as a form of “black propaganda” against the communists.

The legacy of the violent drug policies and the historic “labor export” policies are already continuing under the new president, Bongbong Marcos, and his vice-president, Duterte's daughter, as countless Filipinos continue to be red-tagged, imprisoned, tortured, and murdered. The Philippines remains a country deeply affected by the legacy of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucrat capitalism, and its citizens continue to be vulnerable to exploitation and violence from both local and international actors, including from the Korea-based Unification Church and its related organizations. Even with the abhorrent repression, the Filipino people continue to organize and struggle to overthrow feudalism, bureaucrat captailism, and imperialism. It is worth learning from their work and struggle, which has fueled a 50-year war for social and national liberation, and doing what we can to support them!

Nagagalit pag bina-bash si Kris Aquino kasi may sakit daw, pero may laughing emoji at nagsasabing "deserve yan" nang nalamang may Covid si President Bongbong Marcos. Mga HIPOKRITO talaga kayong mga Dilawan at Pinklawan. Nakaka-awa kayo sa totoo lang. Pero, ano pa naman ba ang ie-expect mo sa mga taong walang Diyos? Tsk, tsk.

Been seeing a lot of "Kakampinks" (Leni Robredo supporters during the last Philippines election) saying "Tama nga kami" (we were right all along). This is a jab to those who voted for the current President and Vice President of the Philippines, who currently on bad relations with each other, pointing fingers about who is the incompetent one. Spoiler alert: it's both of them.

Anyways, being smug about the election choices that people make does NOT help with the greater cause and what are the real sides of this fight - the ruling class in power and the working class.

Raoul Manuel of the Kabataan Partylist and Member of the Philippine House of Representatives put it so well in the following tweet he posted:

Rough translation:

Friendly advice to allies for good governance:

It is not enough that we are right. We need to reach out to those who can become additional allies, including those who have doubts and are questioned about their decisions. Let's multiply and act together.

It is the strategy of the deceivers to label and consider as enemies those who do not share another's views. Let's be on guard not to be like them.

Potential allies will distance us if, consciously or not, we appear self-righteous or arrogant.

Fight!

So the US is now promising to “help” the Philippines develop its Infrastructure daw, just like what China is doing. I think this is just another “Pie in the Sky” or “Something Good is Coming” Propaganda Tactic by the US and their Pinoy Dogs, for a number of Reasons:

First is that, the US used to laugh at China for copying them, but now they are copying what China is doing in Terms of Infrastructure Development with other Countries? Really?

Second, the US, in all the time they have been influencing the Philippines, they haven’t thought about doing this on their own? It took China’s example of helping the Philippines before they went into Action? Also if China hadn’t done this for the Philippines, would the US have done it for the Philippines? Of course not.

Third, the US is only doing this now while China has been doing this for about at least a Decade now. The US’ inexperience means they will likely encounter many Problems and Delays, especially at the Start.

Fourth, nobody builds as fast as China, and the US has too many Hangups in Terms of getting Infrastructure Projects moving forward. China built not just one but two Bridges which they gave for free within the six Years of the Duterte Administration. I doubt if any of the US’ Projects will be nearly finished by the time the Kuting President’s Term ends in 2028.

Thank you...for the gender-assailing, for the late-night nonsensical rambling, for racking up trillions of debt for the country, for killing the poor in the name of drugs, for killing only your son's drug lord rivals, for joking about that jetski, for inspiring the very flawed Anti-Terrorism Law, for your wishy-washy stance on China's atrocities over our fisherfolk, for jailing dissenters, for emboldening people in uniform by raising their wages and empowering them to use violence, for being incompetent in the face of our greatest crises--Covid, Typhoon Rolly and Ulysses, and Taal's eruptions, for demonizing Robredo, for mobilizing a troll army, for shutting down a media institution because of petty revenge, for allowing #marcoshindibayani to be interred in Heroes Cemetery, for appointing every single incompetent sycophant in government. 6 years of this, and we're about to endure at least 6 years more. Thank you, sabi ng mga sipsip at nakinabang.
