Inaction is tantamount to complicity. Silence fosters a culture of impunity. Then, all that was accomplished would have been for naught. The cost of freedom is priceless.
...As we observe International Human Rights Day, let us remain vigilant for the countless nameless, voiceless, and faceless Filipinos who are continuously denied of these fundamental rights and are forced to endure injustice and exploitation.
In the course of our history, many Filipinos became victims and survivors of atrocities brought about by colonialism, imperialism, and state aggression...
Our freedom of expression is also being challenged by laws, such as the Anti-Terrorism Law, that target critics...
Iwaksi ang mga suwail at taksil sa pambansang soberanya at demokratikong karapatan ng taumbayan! Marcos singilin, Duterte panagutin! Diwa ni Bonifacio, gunitain!
Mahalaga magpahanggang ngayon ang rebolusyonaryong diwa ni Andres Bonifacio. Inspirasyon pa rin sa maraming Pilipino ang ipinakitang pag-ibig sa tinubuang lupa ng Ama ng Katipunan.
Dapat nating ganap na mabatid ang tinuran ni Bonifacio, “Lubos na pagsampalataya sa parusang ilinalaang sa balang sowail at magtaksil”—bagay na makakamit sa pamamagitan ng pagbabalik sa mga aral na kasaysayan at pakikiisa sa mga mithiin ng masang anakpawis.
May mga nag-aakala pa na hindi mandarambong ang diktador at kanyang mga kroni. Basahin ang salin sa Filipino ng isang desisyon ng Korte Suprema na nagpapatunay na sila'y mandarambong. pp. 60-63 sa e-book na Panata sa Kalayaan Tomo 1: https://t.co/SpIakyriCk
NEVER AGAIN TO MARTIAL LAW!
Progressive teachers and educators join various sectors to denounce not only the dark history of the Marcos dictatorship, but also Martial Law's iterations that continued until today.

Yet, today, we also celebrate our victory against corruption, state violence, and neocolonial politics when we as a people brought down this tyrant despite the weapons and violence he wielded against us.
Today, we mourn with the families of the victims of torture, enforced disappearance, sexual violence, summary executions, and other human rights violations. . .
Hindi celebrity ang mga diktador. Hindi dapat ikinukuwento ang kanilang buhay na pampa-good vibes lang. Isang kalapastanganan sa disiplina ng kasaysayan na ilarawan si Ferdinand E. Marcos na para bang relatable na artista na pwede kang magpa-selfie kasama siya.
...sa pagkatuto ng mga estudyante. Dagdag pa rito, mariing kinukondena ng grupo ang pag-atake sa mga makabayang guro sa porma ng red-tagging, intimidasyon, at mga gawa-gawang kaso.
Binibigyang pagpupugay ng Tanggol Kasaysayan (TK) ang mga guro para sa kanilang kontribusyon at sakripisyo upang magturo at tumayong inspirasyon para sa mga mag-aaral. Kabilang rito ang mga guro sa pampubliko, pribado, at mga alternatibong eskwelahan tulad ng paaralang lumad.
Binibigyang puna ng TK ang labis na neoliberalisasyon sa sistemang edukasyon at ang lubos na pagpapahirap sa ilalim ng Matatag Curriculum na nagpapalaki sa workload ng mga guro na nagtuturo nang pito hanggang walong klase sa isang araw, bagay na negatibong nakaaapekto rin...
On Friday, August 30, the Movement Against Disinformation (MAD), in collaboration with The Asia Foundation and Tanggol Kasaysayan, brought together members of the diplomatic community to address the pressing challenges posed by disinformation in our society.
Our expert panel, featuring Dr. Francis Gealogo, Dr. Janet Reguindin-Estella, Ms. Anne Rosalie Besin-Laquian, and Dr. Michael Pante, provided valuable insights into the rise of disinformation, particularly during the 2022 elections. Given the surge in disinformation during this period, our commitment to truth is more crucial than ever.
Thank you to all who participated in this important briefing. Together, we stand firm against disinformation and strive to preserve historical truth and integrity.

Pagpupugay sa lahat ng mga martir at bayani na nag-alay ng kanilang buhay upang ipaglaban ang tunay na kalayaan at demokrasya sa panahon ng diktadurang Marcos.
Sa kanilang halimbawa, hindi na lamang simpleng konsepto ang kabayanihan.

...our farmers and fisherfolk, and all professionals who continue to render tireless, honest, and decent forms of labor to make life bearable and viable for many of us.
Dictators, despots, and demagogues can never be national heroes. And so are their spawns, enablers, and backers. They belong, without a doubt, to the trash bin of history.
In the Philippines, heroism also comes into light through the struggles, sacrifices, and services of individuals who make our daily realities possible. Such individuals include our doctors and other medical practitioners, our teachers and overseas workers,...
