#Duterte should be told: Anarchy is the murder of farmers, and a government that decides that the murder victims are guilty, and so the murderers are scot-free. #Sagay9 #StopKillingFarmers #StopTheAttacks

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

#Duterte calling Bungkalan anarchy, in relation to the murder of the Sagay 9 farmers, is absurd. To begin with: there is no other person creating anarchic conditions but Duterte himself and his policy of violence against the people.

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

#Panelo says #Duterte doesn’t care about friends and connections. But #DennisUy sure has gotten big-ticket government projects since putting out P30 MILLION for Duterte’s candidacy. This is only for 2017. Say it with us: #DuterteCrony.

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

When #Duterte’s denial is contradicted by his spokesperson, and in the process we are reminded that Duterte’s not just a liar, he also knows FULL WELL THAT HE IS VIOLATING THE LAW, but is doing what he wants anyway. #Panelo #DuterteRhetoric

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

These admissions from government officials are not only important, they remain as proof of what #Duterte’s doing to citizens. #drugwarPH #executions #murder

That time #Duterte promised soldiers who get awards for valor FEMALE CELEBRITIES AS REWARD. #celebritiesPH #PresidentialMisogyny #misogyny #feminismNOW #feminismPH #rapeculture #ViolenceAgainstWomen #wordsmatter

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

The jokes, while seemingly harmless, taken with the serious statements that condone rape, objectify women, and speak of them as week and insubordinate to men, becomes part of #Duterte #misogyny. These jokes endanger women’s lives. #WordsMatter #rapeculture #violenceagainstwomen

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

#Duterte told soldiers he would take responsibility for their crimes: ‘Pag naka-rape ka ng tatlo, akin ‘yon.”

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

When #Duterte repeated over and over in 2017, that men-in-uniform who commit crimes in the name of the wars he wages will be pardoned by him. #rapeculture #violence #impunity #misogyny

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

When #Duterte connects objectification of women (don’t kill the pretty women) with condoning the killing of citizens. #misogyny #tatakDuterte #impunity #violenceagainstwomen #presidentialmisogyny

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

And of course there was that time #Duterte joked, that he will not stop with a beautiful woman, and if his advances do not get a positive response, he will kill the woman. #rapeculture #misogyny #PresidentialMisogyny

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

This is that time #Duterte said it would not only be okay for policemen to shoot civilians, and if it’s over a beautiful woman, then he’ll take part in the love triangle. #rapeculture #misogyny #presidentialmisogyny

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

#Duterte’s objectification of women, insisting on only seeing them for their looks, is at the heart of his #misogyny. To connect this to the possibility of abuse by men in uniform? Encourages impunity. #rapeculture #presidentialmisogyny #chauvinism #pigs

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

A police officer saying it is part of police drug war operations for policemen to rape daughters of drug suspects is proof that #Duterte’s words encourage violence against women. Today, we post a few of Duterte’s worst statements since 2016. #rapeculture #misogyny

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

That 25-year franchise given to the #Villars’ telco company? #Duterte’s bayed-utang. He calls Manny “Sir,” claimed Cynthia was a campaign donor. He has since appointed Mark and Mark’s wife into gov’t positions. Can giving becoming the 3rd Telco be far behind? #DuterteCronies

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

When #Duterte says he owes no one anything, he’s obviously lying. Here, how he owes the Villars. So much that he appointed their son RIGHT AWAY to a Cabinet position — one that the Villars’ Real Estate business inevitably benefits from. #DuterteCronies #Villars #VillarFamily

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

You know how #Duterte insists he owes no one anything? Well two years in and we know he owes the #VILLARS big time. Here how the Villars have benefited from #Duterte: from #DPWH to #TelCo franchise. #DutertesMen #SacredCows

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

172 farmers have been killed under #Duterte. 45 of those are Negros farmers. As we fall silent, the body count rises. #JusticeForSagay9 #LandToTheTillers #StopKillingFarmers

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

Let us say, for the sake of argument, that the farmers had no right to that land: WHY KILL THEM? Why not allow for gov’t and the law to decide on whether or not they can takeover land under Notice of Coverage by the Dep’t of Agrarian Reform? #JusticeForSagay9 #StopKillingFarmers

[CurrentsPH @currentsph]

There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to kill farmers who are merely fighting to survive Tiempo Muerto — the Dead Season — of agriculture. #JusticeForSagay9 #StopKillingFarmers
