Warship radios broadcast the call for the All-Russia Congress of Soviets to go ahead. It becomes a nationwide issue for political parties and is key to the Bolsheviks winning over the majority of the soviets to their position, sometimes backed by Left SRs. The Petrograd Soldiers’ Soviet votes to obey only orders from the Soviet defence committee.

@tobitochondrios I suppose De Guzman said this because he did not want to alienate the pro-U.S. bourgeois liberal social base e.g. Mamamayang Liberal, whose votes the PLM ticket wanted to attract. And it is quite clear PLM candidates did better in bourgeois enclaves in Makati, Alabang and QC.

@tobitochondrios I have many differences over the politics of De Guzman's, who is a a labor bureaucrat. When interviewed in 2025 whether will campaign for the national liberation struggle, he told my comrades that he would not take up the anti-imperialist banner because it was sposedly communist.

@sergi_tron • No electoral alliance with the pro-U.S. liberals.

• No electoral alliance with the U.S. lackey Marcos administration!

• No support for the Duterte opposition, reserve horse of the U.S. imperialists.

For an anti-imperialist, socialist, working people's alternative.

A progressive competent candidate in 🇵🇭 can do what LULA 🇧🇷 did in the other major democracy of the world!! It’s all about COALITION building, politics of conviction, and clarity of vision! LENI can do it, so can RISA/BAM and other top competent leaders!

Metro Manila’s condo glut persists: 80,000 unsold units, discounts hit 40%

Metro Manila’s condominium oversupply remains a stubborn challenge, with nearly 80,000 units still unsold despite developers slowing construction and rolling out aggressive incentives to attract buyers, according to Colliers Philippines research director Joey Bondoc.

The slowdown is taking its toll on new projects, with only 2,200 units completed in the third quarter of 2026, roughly half the original forecast of 4,500 units.

But the glut is creating opportunities for property buyers, with developers offering discounts of up to 40 percent on select ready-for-occupancy units, alongside flexible payment schemes and other incentives.

Mumia came of age politically in the 1960s amid the racist backlash against the Civil Rights movement and a black nationalist rejection of MLK’s pacifist liberalism which left the conditions of urban black lives unchanged.

Former Black Panther and MOVE supporter Mumia Abu-Jamal was framed up for the killing of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner on December 9, 1981. Mumia spent 30 years on death row and is now 45 days shy of 45 years behind bars, despite massive evidence of his innocence. To mark this infamous anniversary, starting today, the PDC will be posting facts about Mumia’s frame-up for 45 consecutive days, to help revive the movement for his freedom. We must bring the fight to free Mumia and the lessons of this struggle to this generation of youth who face increased state repression.
The fight for Mumia’s freedom is not only urgently necessary to get this militant fighter for black liberation out of the dungeons he has languished in for most of his life, but it would also light some fire under the fights against racist cop terror, black oppression and the silencing of political dissent.

[Brian Tycangco 鄭彥渊 @BrianTycangco]

The Philippines is facing its slowest quarterly economic growth since the COVID pandemic hit. After crashing to 2.3% in 2Q, expect growth to further fall between 1.5% and 1.8% in 3Q, and possibly flatline in 4Q, as rate hikes by the BSP and a surge in 10Y govt yields cause many corners of the economy to seize up. $EPHE
