PEASANT REACT: Ipinarinig namin sa mangingisda ang pahayag ng DENR at ni Malacañang Spokesperson Harry Roque hinggil sa pagtatambak ng artificial "white sand" na gawa sa dolomite na itinambak sa Manila Bay. Pakinggan ang kanilang pagtingin hinggil dito. #OctoberPeasantMonth
The nonstop political killings and aggression towards activists have been underscored by the death of Baby River, the three-month-old infant who passed away last night while her mother Reina Mae Nasino remains in prison under false charges.
Militant groups led by Anakpawis Partylist protested at Department of National Defense today to strengthen the call for justice for Randall "Ka Randy" Echanis, the peace advocate who was slain by government agents exactly two months ago.
The groups, composed of peasants, youth, and human rights advocates, sounded the alarm in the face of worsening attacks and unjust policies being implemented by the state.
ALERT — Metal walls are being installed along the shores of Bacoor City, Cavite; blocking the fishers from going offshore to conduct fishing livelihood.
These walls, lacking project details, are believed to be part of the 420-hectare reclamation project in Manila Bay by the LGU.
Ka Randy's vision helped concretize the demands for true socio-economic reforms. The fight for justice, for Echanis and for all victims of state-sponsored violence, will carry on. #OctoberPeasantMonth#StopKillingFarmers
