In a 2019 video that remains publicly accessible on YouTube, Kara Lenina Taggaoa, then chairperson of the League of Filipino Students (LFS), spoke with a clarity that left little room for interpretation. Wearing a Kabataan Partylist shirt, she said, “Proud kami na ang alumni namin ay nag-NPA”.

Youth organizations in Occidental Mindoro mounted a peace rally on Monday, April 6, 2026, at the San Jose Municipal Grounds, calling for an end to terrorism and reinforcing support for community security amid recent developments involving alleged New People’s Army (NPA) activities in the province.

Muling nagpapakita ng kahihiyan sa pagbabaluktot ng katotohanan tungkol kay Ceeka Garzon ang mga National Democratic Mass organizations at Makabayan Bloc, (mga legal front ng CPP-NPA). Sinasabi nilang “simpleng aktibista” lang daw siya — minsan teacher, minsan artist, minsan IP rights advocate. Pero walang ni isa sa kanila ang makasagot: bakit siya naroroon sa encounter site na may baril at mga notebook na puno ng NPA ED (educational discussion) Pointers? Hindi na nagt

Charlize “Ceeka” Garzon, known as “Ka Kaye” inside the movement, was captured by government forces on March 29, 2026, during an armed encounter in Sitio Salafay, Barangay Monteclaro, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. She is a magna cum laude graduate of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, where she earned a degree in Arts Management. From the perspective of someone who was once part of the revolutionary movement, Garzon is a victim—but it would be simplistic to claim that it i

“Maraming hugot o pinag-ugatan ang concept,” paliwanag ni Eder. “Isa rito ang patuloy na economic crisis dahil sa mataas na presyo ng langis. Ngayon naman, ito ay panahon ng Kuwaresma — panahon ng pagtutulungan, pagbibigayan, at pag-asa. Ang ‘Rise’ ay gusto nating ipamulat sa bawat isa ang kahalagahan ng pagtayo sa sarili sa panahon ng krisis.”

Sa aktwal na istruktura ng industriya ng langis sa Pilipinas, limitado ang kontrol ng mga lokal na kumpanya sa presyo. Ang presyo ng produktong petrolyo ay nakabatay sa galaw ng pandaigdigang merkado. Ibig sabihin, ang mga kumpanyang lokal ay price takers, hindi price setters. Sumasabay sila sa pagtaas at pagbaba ng presyo sa pandaigdigang merkado, kasama ang iba pang salik tulad ng palitan ng dolyar at piso, gastos sa transportasyon, at buwis. Sa ganitong konteksto, ang nara

A recent rally staged by Gabriela Women’s Partylist in Davao, including the Indigenous Peoples women’s organization Sabokahan, illustrated this troubling contradiction. One of the protest placards read: “Bilat ang hinagiban, palagputon mga kawatan!!! Get get out!!!” [The vagina is the weapon, oust the thieves]. At first glance, the slogan appeared to have been designed to provoke attention. And it certainly succeeded in that regard. But attention alone does not equate to

Sa mga viral videos na kumakalat sa Facebook, Instagram, at iba pang social media platforms, makikita ang ilang kabataang aktibista na sumisigaw nang malakas sa harap ng pulis.

Nasuspinde ang isang lider ng national democratic organization at isa sa mga kinatawan ng student council sa University of the Philippines matapos umano itong masangkot sa isang seryosong kasong kriminal na panggagahasa sa kapwa estudyante.

Sa entabladong minsang tila napakalayo sa kanyang realidad, nakahanda ngayong umakyat si Erick Simogan, o mas kilala bilang Mimi — hindi bilang mandirigma sa kabundukan, kundi bilang isang magtatapos ng Senior High School sa Rizal.

On February 8, 2026, Julieta de Lima’s keynote speech for the 21st National Congress of the League of Filipino Students was uploaded to the organization’s YouTube channel. De Lima, who was the wife of the late Jose Maria Sison, addressed youth activists – praising them for their achievements, reminding them of the importance of struggle, and challenging them to stay engaged with the movement. However, an analysis of the speech, in the lens of former CPP youth cadres, sho
