Today marks the fifth year after activist Ferdinand Castillo was arrested on trumped up charges. Despite his incarceration, Castillo remains defiant. We are one with him in fighting for his freedom and the pursuit of justice.

Collective acts of solidarity, a winning mentality and perseverance, and public servants duly performing their mandates—these may be what we need to harness to defeat tyranny in 2022.

A broad citizen movement has emerged demanding an end to the repressive and anti-poor Duterte government. This can develop into a vibrant electoral constituency that can have a significant role in the 2022 elections. https://t.co/HfuXVMoCIR
Duterte’s ‘epic fail’ legacy is the cause of the suffering of the Filipino people. Our response is to fight terror, combat fear, and resist until the tyrant Duterte is removed from power. https://t.co/crW48EH9Rj

Since 2016, we saw the emergence of a new disturbing trend that features the following: brazen promotion of political dynasties, vicious use of digital tools to manipulate voters, and circumvention of laws by devious candidates. https://t.co/fqqCgEjlD4
PDP-Laban’s internal squabble is their problem but the group’s resolution urging Duterte to run as VP should be outrightly condemned. It has to be named for what it really is: A shameless maneuver to extend Duterte’s term beyond 2022. https://t.co/TVSi0YuDHx #DuterteWakasan
His retirement offers a chance for the victims of police-sponsored violence to seek justice. He may soon continue proving his canine loyalty to Duterte but we will not stop reminding the public about his crimes against humanity. #JailSinas

Some would argue that this can be done in next year’s election by rejecting Duterte’s anointed candidate. But why wait for another year when exacting accountability today would save more lives?

Spending money to provide emergency assistance to families makes more sense instead of wasting resources on red-tagging activities and tarpaulin materials. https://t.co/7TKySk2cxA
There has been no lull in the government’s demonization campaign against critics despite the worsening pandemic situation. This reflects the government’s obscene priorities which expose its lack of concern for the people’s well-being.

Reviving the ECQ and extending the world’s longest lockdown will continue to be counterproductive as long as the militarist approach is used to deal with the pandemic.

We cannot survive the pandemic as long as the Duterte government is in power. We deserve better than this murderous regime whose only solution is to implement unlimited lockdown measures and silence those who are criticizing the abuses of those in power.

From Mandalay to Manila, pro-democracy forces are raising the flags of resistance against the authoritarianism of the Tatmadaw and Duterte. https://t.co/h4tqxEHxCp
We have no choice but to survive the pandemic by relying on each other and resisting the tyranny of a murderous regime. Our solidarity is greater than the fentanyl-driven inanities of Duterte and his cabal. https://t.co/uA5xTeidEm
Who are the naughty and nice of 2020?
We survived the disastrous year of 2020 thanks to the heroism of our health workers, relief volunteers, and government personnel serving on the frontlines.

Duterte’s terrorist regime is the biggest threat in society. We call all human rights advocates to stand in solidarity with those who are facing state persecution as we continue to demand the release of the ‘Human Rights Day 7’ & all political prisoners

Proposed ordinance for the protection of human rights defenders filed in Caloocan
We laud the filing of a proposed ordinance that pushes for the adoption of mechanisms guaranteeing the protection of human rights defenders.

Our efforts should not only be limited to gathering and handing out relief goods, but an equally if not more important expression of solidarity is our collective action against Duterte’s criminal negligence.

Sinas must answer for the ECQ violation, but we must also not forget his key role in militarizing the government’s COVID-19 response, and the human rights abuses conducted by troops under his command.
