The pre-colonial Ivatan society, defined by its fortified idjangs (mountain fortresses) and autonomous participation in the Maritime Jade Road, was a sovereign entity. To subsume their heritage under a Chinese claim based on ancient trade networks or proximity is an epistemic assault.
Kapag binabasa natin ang talinhaga ng manghahasik, madalas na nakatuon ang ating pansin sa iba’t ibang uri ng lupa. Ngunit kung babalik tayo sa mismong tagpo ng Ebanghelyo, may isang taong hindi natin gaanong napapansin—ang manghahasik. Siya ang unang lumabas. Siya ang unang nagpagod. Siya ang unang umasa.
Does Marcos Jr. think the Davos and Japan trips require more of his time and attention than the myriad domestic problems needing urgent actions that his administration faces in the new year?
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.”
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.
In the midst of the onslaught of Typhoon Egay (Doksuri) that hit tremendously the northern provinces of the Philippines, I saw this FB post from a high school batchmate. As I continue to browse the social media, she posted another another one, lamenting and telling to God to hug her as she feels weak. Apparently, the 3 cows she owned have been missing as the typhoon begun to strike our home province Abra. My friend is currently in Hong Kong, serving as a domestic worker for the past several years.
Growing up in the land, hearing stories of animals, trees, spirit beings, and people from my grandmother have been a huge part of my childhood. Though they may be somewhat far from my reality at that time, they for sure spoke of a reality at a certain period that has been passed down through generations. I could still remember my grandmother’s silky, long, silver hair that smelled like coconut oil, her sagging skin that provided me such comfort, and her voice that is filled with wisdom accumulated through the years.
Second Isaiah created a synthesis: uniting into one, Israelites beliefs in creation, in the Divine government of history, and Divine will to save. Yahweh is creator. Even the greatest powers are insignificant before him. We know how Israel was conquered by world powers, then transferred from its own soil to another. Within this reality, Second Isaiah’s concept of God evolved.

Magkaugnay ang tila magkahiwalay na mga pahayag na ito sa tatlong dahilan: Una, ang kasalukuyang senador ay dati ring hepe ng PNP. Ikalawa, ang kasalukuyang hepe ng PNP ay matagal nang pinag-iinitan ang ilang unibersidad dahil sa aktibismo ng mga estudyante nito. Ikatlo, pareho silang mag-isip dahil sa limitadong bokabularyo: Para sa kanila, ang aktibista at komunista ay iisa.
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.
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.

As we have said, time and again, the fight for the ABS-CBN franchise renewal is a fight for free expression and a fight for all. But Parlade is instead red-tagging virtually everyone and anyone who supports the call for the renewal of the ABS-CBN franchise.
The recent spate of red-tagging and brazen use of authority against media and the people’s growing dissent speak volumes of how the Duterte administration – and its emboldened security forces – are facing the COVID-19 pandemic not only with apparent incompetence, but also with its usual self-serving and despotic brand of governance.
That is why the work of defending human rights must never flag as this crisis develops. While our programming is naturally affected by necessary constraints on travel and physical meetings, human rights work is never done in isolation. It is rooted in personal connections based on mutual understanding, respect, and trust. We will continue to find ways to nurture the connections and solidarity this work requires.

It was inspiring to meet Americans who uphold solidarity as a full-time advocacy. Internationalists in the most positive sense who, at the same time, have also pledged to fight side by side Filipinos in overthrowing the yoke of neocolonialism and feudal oppression in the Philippines.
