PRESS RELEASE

On the 25th of February, National Democratic Mass Organisations and Solidarity Organisations including BAYAN, Migrante UK, Anakbayan UK and the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP UK) staged a protest in Leicester Square, London to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution. 

Forty years ago, the Filipino people rose up against the US-backed dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr, and the strength of the masses was enough to oust him after fourteen years of martial law. EDSA was a breakthrough after years of repression and state violence, a longing from the masses for genuine change. The Filipino people saw with their own eyes the corruption in their government and had enough with it. Forty years later, the Filipino people are yet again under another US-Marcos regime, under the dictator’s son, Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Filipinos in the UK mobilised to continue the true spirit of EDSA, a demand to end corruption and to hold the corrupt accountable. Marcos Jr’s flood control project scandal exposed to the masses the corruption that did not end but only worsened, with state officials pocketing government funds while leaving the people they are meant to serve, to suffer. This is not the first scandal of the Marcos–Duterte regime—Sara Duterte has still not been held accountable for her brazen theft of confidential funds. 

“We call on the Filipino migrant community here in the UK, in Europe, and all over the world to express their discontent on the systemic and widespread corruption in the Philippines,” said the spokesperson for Migrante UK, an alliance of grassroots migrants organisations of overseas Filipinos and their families. “We send money back home, billions worth of remittances, but there would be no true progress for our families until all corrupt politicians are uprooted from our homeland.”

“Corruption survived, and corruption is very much alive personified in the dictator's son and America's puppet, Ferdinand Marcos Jr and his cronies,” said the spokesperson of the UK chapter of the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines, a global network dedicated to promoting, protecting,

BREAKING: ICC Names Duterte’s Alleged Co-Perpetrators in Crimes Against Humanity Case

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has identified several officials as alleged co-perpetrators with former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in a common plan to “neutralise” suspected criminals through killings between 2011 and 2019. Those named include Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa (former PNP chief), Vicente Danao (senior police intelligence and operations official), Camilo Cascolan (PNP operations chief and later NCRPO head), Oscar Albayalde (former PNP chief), Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go (Duterte’s longtime aide and special assistant), Dante Gierran (NBI director), Isidro Lapeña (PDEA chief), and Vitaliano Aguirre II (justice secretary).

According to the ICC, they are accused of participating in or enabling a coordinated campaign of extrajudicial killings targeting alleged drug suspects and other perceived criminals, first in Davao City and later nationwide during Duterte’s presidency—acts the court is investigating as crimes against humanity.

WHO IS THE STATE REALLY SERVING?

Anakbayan UK Stands with the people of Nueva Vizcaya! Our government never fails to show where they stand, serving to protect foreign interest of our resources and orchestrating the forced displacement of the very people they have sworn to protect.

It is up to the people, to organise and defend our land from land grabbing capitalists who cause more harm than good to our country!

While the people of Nueva Vizcaya hold the ground in the homeland, we will confront Woggle here in London until they LEAVE!

Our message to Woggle corporation is clear - END THE MINING PROJECTS IN NUEVA VIZCAYA!

DEFEND DUPAX DEL-NORTE!
STAND WITH NUEVA VIZCAYA!
BRITISH MINING OUT OF THE PHILIPPINES!

“THIS IS MORE THAN JUST LAND, THEY HAVE DECIDED TO STEAL FROM OUR HOME”

On the 26th of January, Anakbayan UK joined progressive Filipino organisations and anti-imperialist allies in a demonstration outside Metals Explorations office in London to demand that their subsidiary -Woggle corporation ends their mining projects in Nueva Vizcaya.

The residents of Nueva Vizcaya, made up of Indigenous peoples, farmers, local communities and inter faith groups who built a people’s barricade to oppose the entry of Woggle into the barangay. The people of Nueva Vizcaya have remained steadfast in their fight to defend their land from mining corporations such as Woggle who seek to displace them and use their land for destructive mine extraction.

This emergency demonstration comes after the court ruling made by the nueva Vizcaya regional trial court branch to demolish the people’s barricade.

With Woggles headquarters in our backyard, we are here to say from London to Nueva Vizcaya: BRITISH MINING OUT OF THE PHILIPPINES!

With our people putting their bodies on the line to defend their land, it is our duty here in the organise and confront Woggle in the imperial core!

STAND WITH THE PEOPLE OF NUEVA VIZCAYA!
DEFEND DUPAX DEL-NORTE!
BRITISH MINING OUT OF THE PHILIPPINES!
