Balik-Tanaw | Who sits on the throne?
Every generation faces a defining question. Not whether people believe in God, but which god they actually serve.

20 years on, the monsters remain
20 years on, the monsters remain
The 20th year of the disappearance of Karen and Sherlyn is not just about them or about their families. It is an indictment of our democracy. It is proof that butchers and human rights violators are being rewarded and that impunity persists.

DoJ chief blames insurgency for dismal HR situation
In effect, Remulla passes the blame for human rights woes on the Left. He sought to assure the UNHRC that the government is determined to end the insurgency through the NTF-ELCAC’s “whole-of-nation strategy.”
World body checks out holes in Phl HR record
Taking note of the government’s “refusal to cooperate with the international human rights mechanisms” and the ongoing investigations of EJKs by the International Criminal Court, the Committee prods the Philippines to put an end to EJKs of suspected drug offenders. It has recommended nine steps toward ending the killings.
Rights defenders decry DOJ red-tagging stance
“Such practices amount to intimidation, discourage engagement with international bodies and prevent HRDs from accessing assistance and remedies available to them through international human rights mechanisms.”

Balik-Tanaw | Rest
The setting of the sun signals the time to come home, a time for rest from the daily toils. But for the poor workers in highly urbanized areas rest is a luxury. The none-stop rotation of work propagated by capitalism, rest is counter-productive.
Balik-Tanaw | Random thoughts on fear, adventure, and the dance of life
I was blessed by children today. Two children, actually. A young girl, 10-year old Sophie, and a 3-month old baby boy, Matteo. Sometimes, one can’t contain oneself, by the joy these two pure souls may offer this poor, weak soul. Life can be so burdensome.
At Ground Level | Two similar killings, two decades apart
In the early 2000s, government soldiers brutally killed a couple, Expedito and Manuela Albarillo, in a surprise attack on their home in San Teodoro, Mindoro Oriental. Their bodies, mutilated by the intense gunfire, were dragged out of their house by the perpetrators, later identified as Philippine Army soldiers commanded by then Col. Jovito Palparan Jr.

Para sa ina’t ama ng isang aktibista
Kung sakaling pinili niya ang buhay-aktibista, ito ay dahil pinili niyang maging solusyon sa problema. Ang inyong pansariling konsepto ng magandang kinabukasan, ginawa niyang pangmalawakang pagkilos para sa makatarungang kaayusan.
Higit pa sa tubo
Ang patuloy na pagpapayaman at pagpapalakas ng kapangyarihan ng mga kapitalista ay nangyayari sa patuloy na pagpapahirap at pagpapahina ng mga manggagawa. Ang tanong sa puntong ito: Nagtatagumpay kaya sila? Hindi po.
Pansinin ang sunud-sunod na welga sa iba’t ibang lugar ng Pilipinas. Iisa ang mga panawagan, iba-iba lang ang pangalan ng mga opisina’t pagawaan. Iisa rin ang solusyon ng kapitalista’t pamahalaan, iba-iba nga lang ang porma: Karahasan.
