HUSTISYA PARA KAY ALYSSA ALANO

Next they came to the journalists and unionists
Next to the peasant who tilled the soil
No sparrow sings in Negros
The rivers are flowing in crimson tide.

news of the bloodbath in negros the same day we get confirmation of billions' worth of bank transactions linked to sara duterte. the conditions of supposed normalcy through which the political class steals from us and wealth is hoarded upward are maintained by sheer violence.

the way we've been pacified, made docile. rizal 'used the power of the pen,' edsa was 'bloodless,' even 'tiis-tiis,' but also, in both logistics and ideological terms, because our unions, w/c mobilize and educate, are systematically defanged and demonized.
The Makabayan slate is what a truly representative Senate should look like, and I salute all of them for putting up their names forward, painting a stark contrast to the corrupt dynasts that have held our country back.
On France Castro’s case.
Ito ang totoo, si Duterte ang nag-utos na bombahin ang mga lumad communities. Si Duterte ang nagpasara ng mga lumad schools.
Si France Castro ay naroon upang tulungan ang hinaharass na mga studyante ng mga paramilitary groups.
Alam ko yan,andun ako.
