Despite having left ICC, Phl cannot evade probe

“Withdrawal from the Rome Statute does not discharge a state party from the obligations it has incurred as a member. Consequently, liability for the alleged summary killings and other atrocities committed in the course of the war on drugs [during the Duterte administration] is not nullified or negated.”

Marcos Jr.’s first week: focus on economy woes

In his first Cabinet meeting last Tuesday, Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced that economic recovery takes precedence over all concerns under his administration and that his economic managers would set the “central policy.”

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.

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.

Galit at pag-ibig sa paggunita ng Batas Militar

Tunay na may batayan ang kolektibong galit na dapat na nararamdaman ng mga mamamayan. Pero pinipilit ng mga nasa kapangyarihan na huwag gunitain ang nakaraan sa makatotohanang paraan. Una, mahalagang alyado ng mga Duterte ang mga Marcos. Ikalawa, pinipilit sikilin ang kultura ng aktibismo ng kabataan. Ikatlo, binabago ang interpretasyon ng kasaysayan sa kabila ng hindi maipagkakailang datos, partikular ang pagpapalayas sa mga Marcos sa Malakanyang sa pamamagitan ng pag-aalsa ng mga mamamayan noong 1986.

Pabango ng berdugo

Kung hindi kilala ng mga artistang ito sina Karen, Sherlyn at Raymond, siguro’y napapanahon nang magsaliksik at magsuri. Marahil doon lang nila mapapagtantong tulad ng mga may-ari ng studio at produktong ineendorso nila, sila ay nagagamit din ng AFP, partikular ng ARESCOM, para maging katanggap-tanggap ang gawain ng mga berdugong magnanakaw na, mamamatay-tao pa.

Pagtuturo sa panahon ng panduduro

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.

COVID-19: Paracetamol, ibuprofen and other anti-fever drugs should be avoided

The WHO should not expect at this time, while the pandemic is raging, to find published clinical and population-based studies specifically showing these negative effects in COVID-19 patients. Their main concern should be to protect COVID-19 patients from unnecessary risks because of irrational use of anti-fever drugs.

The COVID-19 pandemic brings to the fore the economic divide

COVID-19 has laid bare the class contradictions in Philippine society. Not only has it exposed the private sector for what it is – a profiteering class of capitalists, but it has also exposed the government and its institutions for what they are – tools of the same profiteering class to ensure that they can continue profiting.

Rodrigo Duterte’s unnatural disasters

But in the Philippines, the links between environmental degradation and militarization are intimate. Government counterinsurgency campaigns have been most violent in the regions of the Philippines with natural and mineral resources that are largely untapped by extractive projects, whether it’s Mindanao in the south or the Cordilleras in the north. Brandon was shot because he opposed a hydropower project that would have displaced indigenous communities in the north, while to the south, indigenous Lumad leaders have been killed and schools dedicated to the teaching of sustainable agricultural practices occupied under the guise of anti-communism.
