In power, Dems economically strangled us. Since 2024, they have given Trump a free hand to beat us down. Voting for Dems won't ease cost of living or stop attacks on immigrants/black ppl/women. It will just slow the building of a working-class fightback: iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1191/midte….

Mobilize Akbayan, Makabayan, PM, PLM, PKP-1930, Socialista, Kilusan and other leftists against the Marcos gang of U.S. lackeys, the pro-U.S. liberals and the right-wing populists.
Build the anti-imperialist, socialist alternative of the laboring masses and the oppressed.

National Democrats, Social Democrats, Socialists, Patriots! Mobilize in coordinated joint actions against Trump, Pax Silica and U.S. imperialism. The crisis in the Philippines is made worse by U.S. military aggression in the Gulf, Trump's tariff wars, & neocolonial impositions.
'TRUMP OUT! REJECT PAX SILICA!'

The new U.S. ambassador makes a courtesy call to Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte and right-wing opposition leaders.
The signal is clear. #MAISUG patriots: Beware! The U.S. is hedging its bets. The Kakampink liberals are not the only reserve horse of U.S. imperialism.

Many in the PH left cheer Lula's victory in Brazil. But with his conciliationism toward the imperialists and national capitalists, Lula will inevitably attack the workers and oppressed, leading to broad demoralization and the further rise of the far right.

Gracias! Salamat sa suporta!
I would like to look at my advocacy as broadly belonging to the democratic left, as i identified myself with the social democratic (Socdem) movement since my college days in MSU-Marawi.
i have a practical commitment to advancing workers’ rights through democracy, strong unions and civil society, and social justice.
I have studied Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, German, British, Australian, New Zealand, Singaporean, Indonesian, Malaysian, Japanese, Brazilian and American trade union movements to learn from their experiences and advance Filipino workers’ interests and aspirations. These movements represent diverse political and economic traditions.
i have an open mind, my approach is to learn broadly and judge ideas by how they improve workers’ lives. Studying different traditions may influence our thinking but does not mean subscribing to every ideology behind them.

• No electoral alliance with the pro-U.S. liberals.
• No electoral alliance with the U.S. lackey Marcos administration!
• No support for the Duterte opposition, reserve horse of the U.S. imperialists.
For an anti-imperialist, socialist, working people's alternative.

Instead of reliance on island-building in the Spratlys or cultivating pro-Beijing bourgeois factions in the region, New China must rely on the masses and needs to build an anti-imperialist alliance with the Southeast Asian proletariat and peasantry.

The US ambassador walked into the Duterte stronghold, and the cameras loved it.
Ambassador Lee Lipton visited Davao City and met Mayor Sebastian "Baste" Duterte. Warm words, photos, talk of hospitality. No agreements announced.
Remember the context. Rodrigo Duterte is in The Hague facing the ICC, his camp has spent years attacking Washington's influence, and Sara Duterte is eyeing 2028.
So why the visit ? Washington hedging its bets. Whoever wins in 2028, the US wants the bases, EDCA and the alliance to survive.
The Dutertes get a photo of legitimacy. The Americans get insurance. Davao gets nothing on paper.

natdem-allied party-list @BayanMuna will not stand in the next elections for the first time since its first electoral participation in 2001 after @COMELEC cancelled its registration for failing to win seats in the previous 2 consecutive elections.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has canceled the registration of 50 partylist groups, including Bayan Muna, Magdalo and Buhay, over failure to meet participation or electoral performance requirements. tinyurl.com/4myjd6r5 | via @onenewsph

Marcos government names jet-setting DLSU alumna Presidential comissioner for the urban poor.
JET-SETTER TO URBAN POOR BODY COMMISSIONER?!
Zofia S. Canlas, whose social media posts feature her travels to ritzy tourist spots in Italy, Spain, France, Greece, and US, has taken her oath as commissioner of the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP).
A De La Salle University graduate with a degree in Biology major in Medical Biology, Canlas previously served as PCUP chief of staff and was the first nominee of the Batang Quiapo party-list in the 2025 elections.
Following her oath-taking, Canlas thanked President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for his trust and pledged to serve and uplift urban poor communities, saying she aims to turn her new role into meaningful action for Filipinos.

So what was the point of all this? The liberals won't press their case forward. What is the real agenda here?
It is to frame Sara Duterte as a China-funded malicious actor, a security threat; and thereby politically justify the U.S.-Philippines military build-up against China.
UPDATE: Presiding Officer Francis Escudero tells the defense team it no longer needs to present evidence on the three withdrawn impeachment articles (Articles 1, 3, and 4) after the impeachment court accepts the prosecution’s manifestation to withdraw them.
Escudero says article 3 is deemed withrawn without prejudice against the respondent since the prosecution did not present or deduce evidence under this.
The withdrawal of article 3 is limited to the trial alone.
Escudero rules that articles 1, 3, and 4 will not be submitted for the senator-judges' vote. The respondent will not need not to present evidence in defense of these three articles. The sub judice rule will also no longer cover the withdrawn articles. #VPOnTrial | via @victoriatulad
