We bring the hope of EDSA with us as we troop to the polls this May. The spirit of EDSA will die only if we choose to kill it by forgetting.

Mabuhay ang Diwa ng EDSA!
Mabuhay ang Sambayanang Pilipino!

PNOY’S 65TH BIRTHDAY

The late Pres. Noynoy Aquino believed in the power of the people and vowed to win back the trust of the Filipinos, manifested through his signing of a social contract that lays down the vision of government in the different priority areas of development.

CLD is deeply saddened by the passing of Liberal Party president, Cong Edcel Lagman, Sr.

May his legacy of leadership and integrity continue to inspire generations to come.

Join us in welcoming @AttyLeiladeLima as our newest board member!

Her unwavering commitment to social justice will drive us to forge a path toward a more just and equitable society.

We are eager to shape the future with you, Atty. Leila!

[Center for Liberalism and Democracy @cldphilippines]

...proving that no amount of persecution can silence the voice of truth.

Today, de Lima appears before the House QuadComm hearing on the Duterte administration's drug war. As a human rights champion, she brings with her the call for justice for the families orphaned by EJKs.

11-13-24: A year since the release of Atty. Leila de Lima, a powerful reminder of resilience and the enduring fight for justice in the Philippines.

Enduring over 6 years of unjust detention due to trumped-up drug-related charges, she continues to be a symbol of courage ...

[Leila de Lima @manayleila]

Walang atrasan. Tuloy na tuloy na ang laban!

His death sparked widespread protests and invigorated the opposition against the dictatorial Marcos regime, becoming instrumental to the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution that ousted Ferdinand Marcos from power. (2/3)
