Women who recognize class enemies are the most dangerous kind as it motivates us to participate in the movement that liberates all oppressed classes.
Indeed, no longer are we simply women-for-marriage, but women-for-action in building a new democratic society. Abante, babae! 💪
a world so persistent to exploit womenkind, the conditions generated by the world capitalist system incite her to take her place in the struggle and strip down the system that chains her twice.
to celebrate women's month right, i give you: militant women in nego panels!
this is exactly the kind of filipino youth that makes the state tremble-- sharp and critical on social issues, firm in siding with the oppressed, unforgetting of injustice until perpetrators are held accountable, and participates in political movements for genuine change. ✊
Kabataan Partylist Cebu Chairperson Kyle Enero tells the people to never forget the victims of Martial Law and to continue the fight for justice.

What is up with all these Duterte sympathizers on Twitter? Your heart breaks for the old heartless man for getting his jersey last, cry over a photo of him wiping his tears or worried bc he looks so sick.
You never flinch when he kills, makes rape jokes, bomb Lumad schools, etc.
Trolls tried to hijack our What Women Want launch as we talked about how Carolinians should unite for safe spaces & protection of women.
WWW exists today, precisely, because of the collective struggle that we have to face everyday. This intimidation will only fuel us to do more!
Naniniwala po ako sa kasabihang let's cross the bridge when we get there, so ayun, nag check-out ako sa shopee at bukas ko nalang iisipin saan ako kukuha ng pera 😌
i fell in love with reading bc national bookstore once had a carpeted kids' section, where i could read books all day. i'm sure i'm not the only one!
if we want a populace with deep appreciation for learning, we must make resources - not just accessible/affordable - but FREE!
May nakita ako kanina na nagbabasa sa NBS dito sa probinsya. May mga gusto pang magbasa, hindi lang talaga accessible ang panitikan para sa maraming tao.
In 2017, I dared ask why my aunt (from Leyte) was a Marcos apologist. I calmly debunked her reasons, and let the conversation go when she started to become agitated.
Last night, she thanked me for doing so bc it led her to read about the Marcoses more. Nakakataba ng puso🥺💗
‼️ TRIGGER WARNING ‼️
I can't forget the feeling of my mom handing me a knife to challenge me into killing myself because she read my journal which I kept hidden under my blanket.
"Asa man ko nagkuwang pagka-mama, ha? Dara o, sge, patya imong kaugalingon."
Please don’t read a child’s journal/diary. Just don’t. If that’s a safe space for them, don’t ruin it. Somebody read my diary as a child and confronted me with the info. To this day, I still can’t write in my journal without feeling anxious and I always edit certain info out
Actually, we've been talking about it FOR DECADES. Workers have put their lives on the line just to clamor for just wages and humane policies in factories. Workers go on strike, submit petitions to DOLE, conduct kampuhans and protests. Leaders even get killed, harassed, abducted.
LORRAINE BADOY NO ONE WILL GENUINELY MOURN WHEN YOU DIE BUT MY COMRADES WILL FOREVER BE CHERISHED BY THE MASSES AND THE PEOPLE'S REVOLUTION WILL PROSPER
I am furious when all people comment about is the surface of my being. Not just plain comment, but actually sexualize me. They look past bravery, the guts I willingly spilled to overcome the anxiety, the strength to carry on even with trembling hands. Trash.
Nagpakilalang mga pulis ang abductors kay Armand and Dyan. Dineny ng coast guards at maritime sa family na may commotion na nangyari on their arrival's date & time, but this video shows that THEIR ABDUCTION HAPPENED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT WITH SECURITY PPL JUST ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN!
NPA REBEL RAW SI CHAD SINCE 2010? Pero high school student pa siya sa isang private school sa Mandaue City that time!

I remember Catriona saying her relationship with Clint has already been rough even during the pageant and they weren't really in speaking terms. Di ko gets ang people romanticizing Cat's and Clint's breakup, as if naman talaga instagram tells us enough to conclude things. Yikes.
Just like during Carbon market demolition, the LGU commented balit may mga bata sa barikada. Ginagamit daw ang mga bata.
But kids - no matter how young - would also resist if their family's houses, livelihood, and future is at stake! They deserve better from the government.
I'm with him in Pasig JODA for 3 days, he really stands for what is right. Wala ng ibang nag-aalaga sa kanila kundi ang kuya nyang driver na pinagmanahan pa ng pumanaw nyang ama.

I'm so glad my boyfriend gives me random back rubs and hand squeezes for reassurance then checks on me once in a while if I'm okay, so I don't feel out of place when I'm with his crowd. To be dismissed in front of people would be a blow to my self-esteem hskajaja naaaur 🥺

I have met people who "admire" me for my "advocacies" but also tell me I'm "too" political, "too" strong, "too" outspoken" as if these things are just there as charity cases. I'm sorry, but lives are on the line here.
You know what's too much? Your privilege.
My 12 AM thoughts include being in a bad mood so I went out to eat lunch alone. The rain started to pour hard. My bf showed up with an umbrella to ensure I got home safe and dry.
Partners aren't mind-readers, but it feels good to have someone who knows you and how to love you ☺️
Let's not further divide ourselves. We can't blame Luzon for the lack of calamity response and rescue here in Visayas and Mindanao. After all, it's the national government’s responsibility to do so. The failed pandemic and typhoon response fall on the government's accountability!
"Bakit puro babae?" Ang problema sa liberal-feminism ay walang class analysis. Kahit pag-call out ng mga babaeng nasa 1% ay mali kung susundan natin ang logic na 'yan. Bakit ba, inaapi ba sila o sila ang nang-aapi? Not all women are allies, mhie, they can be enemies, too.
Ang babaw naman po nh tingin ninyo kay VP Leni sa sinabi nyong gusto lang nyang wakasan ang pagbabalik ni Duterte at Marcos. Tutol din sya sa contractualization. Maganda din ang plano nya sa labor. So si Leni pa ang nanghati ng boto ngayon? Magaling.
Raca speaks as if she was deceived to be agitated that the country's social conditions are harsh. That if we want to serve our country, we must join the AFP/PNP instead.
But today, 3 Cebu youth leaders and 4 residents were arrested during a demolition. Pulis ang terorista.
EX-NPA APPEARS AT SENATE
LOOK: Kate Raca, who claims to have been recruited from UP-Diliman activist groups and became a former political officer of the Bienvenido Valleber Command of NPA Palawan, tells her story at a hearing presided over by Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa,
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH NOT HAVING A DEGREE. WHAT'S WRONG IS LYING ABOUT IT! Let's do better than releasing elitist statements, fellow Kakampinks.

A peasant leader tested positive for COVID-19 while being in jail for trumped-up charges in the series of raids done by the Duterte regime to silence progressives. Today, he died because of the lack of medical attention.
Rest in power, Ka Joseph!

One time, two foodpanda riders were lining up to get orders. One of them said, "mag-absent tayo kahit 2 days lang parang undeclared strike kasi nakakapagod na trabaho natin."
Not an act of laziness, but RESISTANCE against INHUMANE labor practices. Workers keep companies alive.

Gw/en G/ar/ci/a really out here commenting on a statement of condemnation written by an EIC of a STUDENT PUBLICATION. Miss ma'am, I believe you have better things to attend to. Stop wasting your time trying to conceal your lapses by hanging around social media. Jesus.
To really be a mental health advocate, our analysis must acknowledge socio-political and economic factors affecting someone. Education, housing, healthcare, human rights issues are mental health issues.
"The fight for our sanity is a collective militant struggle."
Leni's pronouncement on NTF-ELCAC support really hit a nerve, not gonna lie. Takes me back to the dark corner of February 15 when Lumad students were illegally seized from the SVD Retreat House inside our university. Sabi ng AFP, child warrior training ang bakwit school. Grabe.
Cease and desist orders by NTC to block ABS-CBN’s broadcast on TVPlus and SKY Cable. No justice for our 14 missing fishermen hit by Chinese vessel. Elena Tijamo still missing. Pride 20 still detained. Covid-19 cases increasing.

Ito si Jomar. Estudyanteng Lumad na nagturo sa akin na kulang ang kasabihang, "Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan" kasi ang mga kabataang puro ML, tiktok, o socmed lang ay hindi magdadala ng tagumpay sa pakikibaka.
Ang tunay na pag-asa ng bayan ay ang kabataang lumalaban.
Maraming salamat po sa mga nagpaabot ng tulong. Okay po kami dito at naninindigan na walang mali sa paglaban. May mali kaya tayo'y lumalaban.

Someday, when tourists ask for a heritage spots in Cebu, we won't take them to Magellan's Cross anymore. But we will take them where we destroyed it-- the landmark of resistance against our colonizers and imperialist rule, which have caused our nation to stay poor and backwards.
Historically and politically, armed struggle is the highest form of struggle. It's how new societies are forged. No one can take that away from Hannah Cesista, not even fascists who try to taint her name and death.
Communist or not, this should alarm ALL Filipinos.
When you're critical and outspoken, the state turns a blind eye to basic democratic rights and on the international humanitarian law. Mao na ang tinuod nga terorista!

I take it very personal when libs accuse Ka Leody of only being visible during elections because union organizers are the busiest and most hardworking ppl I know. They eat labor cases for meals, sacrifice time to adjust to workers' scheds, politicize workers' families, etc.
To activists who struggle with their parents: mine has always been overprotective. But today, I told my mom that it's Chad's death anniv. She asked me about Hannah and I answered her truthfully.
There was no red-tagging today. Tireless discourse and persuasion really work. ☺️👍🏻
Annually, some policemen cosplay as NPA surrenderees to give illusion that government's counter-insurgency program is succeeding.
But history has shown that armed struggle can only be truly solved if socio-economic ills are addressed, even Manila RTC says so.

Sinampal, binudget cut at pinalayas sa loob ng isang araw dahil gusto kong makiisa sa pakikibaka para Negros. Masakit, pero tuloy ang laban. Mabangis man ang estado at ang buhay, kailangang magpakatatag para sa masa.

PAKINGGAN NYO ANG MGA SPEECHES NI NERI! He doesn't talk about himself. But he endorses Leni-Kiko, calls for justice, and makes us feel that we can and we will win this May 9. Neri is not our typical politician; he is humble, critical, and immersed in the daily life of the masses.
DepEd claims that they're unaware of the Lumads being in Cebu.
Hmmm, they may have forgotten that they closed their gates on us when we arrived at DepEd during our Walk for Educ back in 2019.
Lumads shared their traumatic experiences in Mindanao, hence, their Bakwit School.
1) unite - struggle - unite
2) don't be condescending
3) avoid using "educate" as it sounds condescending
4) household talks on politics is powerful (smth I can vvv much relate to)

I will only accept the news if it comes from the community organization itself. Not from Manila Bullet, Sunstar Davao, CDN, and especially not from Kalinaw News and AFP. Walay respeto sa pamilya, walay respeto sa journalism, walay respeto kang Chad ug Jurain. Kasuka-suka kayo!
Don’t apologize for being a Cebuana or Filipino/Filipina whatever you call it. Why? Because being a Filipina to me? Means being born into a seed. It’s the same seed that blossomed into the heart of Jose Rizal that morning he was shot to death in Bagumbayan.

Kitang-kita sa CCTV na dinukot. Cannot imagine the mental torture this man had to endure until "sumuko" nalang, especially having heard testimonies from abduction survivors Dyan, Armand, Jhed, and Jonila.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it dangerous for journalists to just simply quote the President who baselessly accuses someone for being a drug user? Isn't the job to investigate and verify in pursuit of the truth, instead of parroting whatever is presented to media?🤔
HANNAH AND THE FOUR OTHER REVOLUTIONARIES DID NOT DIE IN AN ENCOUNTER! MASSACRE ANG NANGYARI! 😭😭
They were captured alive and tortured before they were killed.

Press Release
Feb 25, 2024
The NUPL Cebu Chapter expresses its strongest condemnation over the killings of Hannah Jay Cesista and four other individuals, namely Domingo Compoc, Perlito Historia, Marlon Omosura, and Alberto Sancho in Bilar, Bohol, collectively known as Bilar 5.
While peti bourgeoisies could romanticize living a 'little life' with dreamy 'cottagecore' aesthetics, a housewife from a marginalized community said it best: Galing kaming probinsya kasi walang trabaho doon. Wala pa rin palang trabaho para sa amin dito sa mga lungsod.
It was such a reaffirming moment that when you put in work for change, we can't see results overnight all the time. Pero may aanihin pa rin tayong mga tagumpay! No just cause is a losing cause. Mananaig ang katotohanan. Sulong lang! We have a world to win ❤️🔥✊️

1) economic and feudal relations in fams make political discourse complicated; help them transcend from this culture

Every day could be the last day of activists or even the innocent. Legal progressive groups are punished for rallying for just causes. Budget cuts on basic social services are happening.
Literally, an oppressor. And you defend him as we tread in a bloody unjust system.
BSA made me stay awake for 24hrs; ruin my appetite & intensify my anxiety until my waistline was 24; question my self-worth & self-esteem; and got me thinking I was a failure everyday. Didn't fail any class, but I felt so shitty about myself. It's not worth it. Keep your sanity.
