And pwede ba, Martial Law does not instil discpline, it instils pacification. Naglilikha sya ng kundisyon para di matutong lumaban ang mamamayan, matakot at bulag na sumunod.

idk but seeing handmade posters for @ColmenaresPH in the middle of farming communities in surigao almost got me emotional.

in the middle of multi-million funded campaigns, a candidate stands out, not because of extravagance, but because of the wide support of the masses. 💖

"The PNP’s bullying acts earlier should be seen as an alarming symptom of more intensifying attacks of Duterte regime against opposition, activists and critic! Now, more than ever, we call on everyone not to cower in fear with PNP’s cheap tactics to silence the people’s voices."

"Instead of listening to the cries of the people for justice and life, the Philippine National Police – PRO 7 chose to bully protesters and butcher freedom to express dissent and seek justice by playing loud disco music!"

[GABRIELA Cebu @gabrielacebu]

This is contrary to the spirit of the EDSA Revolution where the people's voices won to overthrow a dictator! We see this as an alarming symptom of more intensifying attacks of the Duterte regime using the PNP & AFP against women & human rights advocates and activists! #EDSA33

THREAD:

GABRIELA Cebu condemns the PNP's move to silence our cry for justice to all victims of their atrocious policy of killings, from Marcos Dictatorship until the Duterte regime, by playing loud disco music during a peaceful protest!

[GABRIELA Cebu @gabrielacebu]

LOOK | Cebu PNP Fascists are so afraid of having the public know the human rights violations they committed against farmers, workers, women and urban poor communities that they played loud disco music while a peaceful protest action is being held in front of PNP PRO 7! #EDSA33

ANTI-SEXUAL HARRASSMENT WATCH

Around 10:00 AM today, one of the woman paralegals of the three illegally detained Coca-Cola workers who were resting in a police's hut outside Mandaue City Police Office was sexually harassed by police elements!

[GABRIELA Cebu @gabrielacebu]

We condone the PNP MCPO's cheap attempt to intimidate the paralegals of the three detained Coke Cebu workers by sexually harassing women human rights defenders. This shows the trashy and pungent reputation of the PNP as violators of women's rights!

[GABRIELA Cebu @gabrielacebu]

We stand with our workers in their right to security of tenure and just compensation! We stand with our women human rights defenders!

PNP, BERDUGO UG MACHO-PASISTA!

This is very telling to the sexist and misogynist nature reeking in the PNP as an institution. PNP earned such anti-women reputation when they were raping women and girls during Oplan Tokhang operations, among others.
