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.

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

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.

DAVAO DEL NORTE—Indigenous leaders from Talaingod have rebuked statements by the Makabayan bloc and allied national democratic organizations following the Court of Appeals’ affirmation of the conviction of former lawmakers Satur Ocampo, France Castro, and their co-accused, saying the Leftist coalition continues to push a narrative that does not reflect the Lumad community’s own position.

The recruitment of young people from the cities to the mountains is not coincidence—it is command. In every story of a young person who “decides” to join the revolution, we often hear the refrain: “It was my personal choice.” A decision, they say, born of conviction, a moral stand for justice. But the truth is, it is never merely personal. Behind every so-called choice lies the collective hand of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), deliberate, organized, and systema
