Kaya ang tanong ay simple at hindi maiiwasan: galit sa red-tagging dahil nagdudulot ito ng anxiety sa mga org, pero sa spy-tagging na nauuwi sa pagpatay ng NPA, okay lang? Ang anxiety ay problema; ang bangkay ay “kinakailangan”?

Buklod Kapayapaan Federation Inc. (BKFI), the national federation whose membership includes former members of the CPP-NPA-NDF, defended Sabado and disputed the characterization of his presentation as red-tagging.

Sa pahayag ng UP Diliman Committee on the Protection of Academic Freedom and Human Rights noong Setyembre 28, mariing kinondena ng komite ang umano’y patuloy na “red-tagging, harassment, and intimidation” laban sa mga estudyante, faculty, REPS, staff at iba pang constituents ng unibersidad. Partikular na binanggit nito ang mga social media post ng NTF-ELCAC at mga grupong gaya ng Hands Off Our Children na nagpapakita ng mga larawan ng kanilang constituents at nag-uugnay sa

Pwedeng sabihin na ang pagtungo sa kanayunan ay maaaring mangahulugan ng community immersion, boluntaryong paglilingkod, pananaliksik, o pakikilahok sa mga usapin ng magsasaka at katutubo. Ngunit sa lenggwahe ng pambansa demokratikong rebolusyon, ang “pagtungo sa kanayunan” ay walang ibang kahulugan kundi ang pagsapi sa armadong pakikibaka ng New People’s Army. Para sa mga pambansa-demokratikong aktibista, ang mga katagang ito ay shorthand o tayutay sa pagsampa sa NPA.

If the UP Diliman Committee on the Protection of Academic Freedom and Human Rights is forceful in condemning the false labeling of activists as recruiters for armed struggle, former rebels believe it should be equally forceful in condemning those who actually encourage young people toward that form of struggle. We remind the committee that protecting students also requires confronting those that threaten their safety and appeals that lead them toward armed conflict. On Septem

Noong Setyembre 21, kasabay ng ika-54 na anibersaryo ng deklarasyon ng batas militar, muling inilabas ng Kabataang Makabayan (KM) ang Kalayaan, ang opisyal nitong pahayagan, matapos ang limang taong pagkakatigil. Walong pahina ang bagong isyu. May editoryal, balita, kultura, mga kuwento tungkol sa mga kabataang nakipamuhay sa mga yunit ng Bagong Hukbong Bayan (BHB), at mga parangal sa mga tinatawag nitong martir ng kilusan. Sa unang tingin, maaaring ituring itong simple

ABRA DE ILOG, OCCIDENTAL MINDORO — Indigenous Mangyan residents of Sitio GCFI in Barangay Balao, Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro, gathered on September 22 to express their opposition to the presence and activities of the CPP-NPA-NDF in their community. The activity brought together members of the Mangyan community in a public expression of their desire to live in peace and away from the armed conflict that has affected communities in the municipality for years.

Former rebels are questioning Kabataan Partylist Rep. Renee Co’s criticism of a National Security Council journal on terror grooming.

Mining has caused real harm in many Philippine communities. Forests have been damaged, ancestral domains contested, rivers polluted and promised benefits unevenly distributed. These are not invented grievances, and no serious discussion of Executive Order No. 122 should dismiss them. But the CPP’s September 7 article, “EO 122: To benefit the US,” turns Executive Order No. 122 into a simple story where foreign capital arrives, the Philippines is robbed and the environment i

Why is an organization representing student publications giving its highest commendation to someone whom the CPP itself identifies as part of its armed revolutionary movement?
