🇵🇭Marcos Jr.’s visit to Canada is a reminder for us as Filipinos abroad of the struggles our people face at home that force us to look outside the Philippines. While Filipinos at home bear the brunt of exploitation, inadequate infrastructure, and the unaffordability crisis, Marcos sells out the Philippines for our land and cheap labour. Marcos shakes hands and sign agreements with Western imperialist countries like Canada because his interest lies not with the Filipino people, but with foreign powers and the bureaucrat-capitalist class. Agreements such as the Status of Visiting Forces Agreement (SoVFA) and the Canada-Philippines Free Trade Agreement do not benefit the vast majority of people in either country, continuing to perpetuate militarization and deprioritizing domestic industrialization that will bring jobs back home. Most notably, the US-led Pax Silica initiative in which Canada is directly involved, will further devastate the environment and displace indigenous communities from their land. Furthermore, he continues his father’s shameful legacy as the king of corruption, pocketing billions of pesos from the Filipino people for himself and his cronies.
While Marcos Jr.’s visit has concluded, the fight is far from over. We must keep demanding accountability from the Marcoses, Dutertes, and all their corrupt cronies that make conditions in the Philippines unlivable. We call on Filipino youth, especially overseas, to take on the fight and help us build towards genuine democracy and national sovereignty in the Philippines.
Join us at PSONA (People’s State of the Nation Address), a rally for overseas Filipinos to use their voice and speak out against the massive corruption and human rights violations under the Marcos Jr. regime on July 26, 2-4pm! WHERE: Metrotown Station, Burnaby BC.
Abante estudyante! Palaban Militante!
(Forward, students! Fight militantly!)
