Bagong Alyansang Makabayan condemns the Pasay police for violently dispersing a protest against United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose visit in the Philippines brings intensified plunder of our resources and expansion of US military presence and intervention.

Nakalulungkot at nakagagalit na sa araw ng State of the Nation Address (SONA) ng rehimeng Marcos Jr., patuloy na nakakaranas ang milyun-milyong pamilyang Pilipino ng labis na pasanin sa mataas na singil sa kuryente—isang direktang bunga ng mga patakarang neoliberal na ipinagpapatuloy at pinasisigla ng kasalukuyang administrasyon.

In truth, Pax Silica is a key component…
Isang matinding insulto at walang katuturang panlalait ang paglalarawan ng China Daily sa mga Pilipino bilang isang unggoy. Kinokondena ito ng Bagong Alyansang Makabayan kasama ng sambayanang Pilipino—walang puwang ang ganitong uri ng diskriminasyon at kolonyal na pag-iisip sa anumang relasyon ng mga bansa. Tulad din ito ng mga ilustrasyong nilabas ng mga Amerikanong imperyalista…

Amid the looming big-time oil price hikes next week, the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) reiterated its call to junk the Oil Deregulation Law (ODL) and scrap the 12% value-added tax (VAT) to protect consumers as tensions in Iran re-escalate. It denounced President Marcos for its failure to implement meaningful steps four months since the Iran…

Marcos delivers his State of the Nation Address (SONA) in Congress, various groups under Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN) will be taking to the streets to highlight the people’s widespread outrage not only against rising prices and low wages, unresolved corruption and continuing impunity, but most importantly, the Marcos Jr. regime’s…
Pahirap ang rehimeng Marcos Jr. sa taumbayan. Ipinagpatuloy nito ang mga patakaran ng deregulasyon at pribatisasyon at mga mapaniil na buwis gaya ng VAT na nasa likod ng di-maawat na pagtaas ng mga presyo at bayarin.
