Statement on the President’s one year in office
President Marcos Jr. reached his one year mark in office without substantially addressing the human rights crises he inherited from the Duterte government, nor has he taken meaningful steps to exact accountability for continuing human rights violations and corporate led human rights abuses against the Filipino people.
Sa Araw ng Kalayaan, gunitain ang laban ng sambayanan para sa karapatan
| Statement
Sa ika-125 taong anibersaryo ng tagumpay ng rebolusyong Pilipino ipinagdiriwang natin ang Araw ng Kalayaan. Mahalagang alalahanin ang diwa ng kalayaang ito na nag ugat sa pangarap ng buong sambayanang lumaya sa pagka alipin at kolonyalismo. Bunsod ng hangaring mabuhay bilang nagsasariling bansa, inilunsad ang himagsikang bayan at ipinanalo ang kalayaan mula sa dayuhang mananakop, upang pamunuan at pandayin ang kinabukasang may dangal at pag asa.
