“Our only wish is for the case against her recruiters in Baloc trial court to proceed faster, and for her to go home this 2016.”
To honor the man and his principles and to rage against the injustices that he has been a victim of, Bulatlat.com is printing the articles we published about Eduardo Serrano.
“It is with great grief and rage that we say farewell to such a man, who, at the last decade of his life, was refused his freedom. We hold the Aquino government responsible for this injustice done to Ka Eddik.”
“His plight, and that of many political prisoners, shows us the continuing injustice prevailing under the Aquino regime.”
“We are urging the DFA to consider issuing a necessary and timely precautionary advisory to all Filipinos living and working in Saudi Arabia and Iran.”
“Migrante continues to call for vigilance and sustained support for Mary Jane, in light of the slow course of justice.”
“Amidst the din and reverie of the past holidays and some mercurial election inanities, we were glad to learn that the trial court correctly denied Gen. Palparan's delusional bid to be granted bail.”
While there are many reasons to celebrate the temporary stay of Mary Jane Veloso’s execution, there are still many reasons to seethe with rage.
Joselito Zapanta, 35, is the eighth Filipino to be executed abroad under President Aquino, the highest under one administration.
To many, the 2010 elections and the stepping down of the Macapagal-Arroyo administration brought much hope for change. Change is exactly what Pres. Benigno Aquino III promised . But as the Aquino administration is about to end, it is hounded by issues both old and new.
For this December 2015, the year ender articles would discuss these issues, as well as what happened to the much-promised change.
“The regime’s monstrosity, which spares not even children, speaks of the evil tactics of the counterinsurgency program of Aquino, Oplan Bayanihan.”
“The continuing attacks against Lumad communities and schools, including the recent evacuation in Compostela, show both the hypocrisy and desperation of the US-Aquino regime, especially with Oplan Bayanihan’s failure.”
“Aquino has never acted on our plight, worse, he himself mandates all of these attacks against the Lumad and our community. Our people, our community, our schools are the military’s target.”
“Six years into his term, Aquino has only galvanized the fact that those who expose state excesses and injustices are bound to suffer behind bars or face possible death sentence in the hands of his fascist forces.”
“I have already suffered 11 years of unjust and cruel detention as a political prisoner.”
Bulatlat’s report titled “Children’s health at risk with low breastfeeding practice” was written by senior reporter and copy editor Ronalyn V. Olea.
“If the government really wants to uplift us from our impoverished conditions, why did it have to wait for an Apec? They could have helped us long before.”
Whatever you call it -- moratorium, postponement, suspension or not a priority -- the net effect is that there will be no execution until further notice.”
“There are police left and right. Who are you serving, those dragons?”
“In 1996, President Fidel Ramos said Apec will bring development, and will make us a Tiger Economy. Now, we can’t even meow like a kitten.”
