🗓️ APRIL 24, 1:00 - 4:00 PM
📌 Block 4, Baguio Public Market

Makiisa tayo sa AG-AGONG: Community Conversation on Land, Life, and Livelihood in Times of Crisis ngayong Abril 24, 1 PM sa Block 4, Baguio Public Market, bilang bahagi ng paggunita sa ika-42 People’s Cordillera Day.

Sa gitna ng malubhang krisis sa buhay at kabuhayan, mahalagang ilantad at pagusapan ang ugat ng kahirapan at korapsyon. Ang laban ng Baguio Public Market ay hindi hiwalay sa laban ng buong Cordillera. Ang pagtatanggol sa palengke laban sa mga mapanirang proyekto, ganid na interes, at huwad na kaunlaran ay kabahagi ng malawak na paglaban ng mamamayan ng Cordillera para sa lupaing ninuno, kabuhayan, karapatan, at sariling pagpapasya.

Napatunayan na ng mamamayan ng Baguio na kayang pigilan ang pangangamkam sa pamamagitan ng sama-samang pagkilos, konsultasyon, at militanteng paninindigan. Ngunit, hindi pa tapos ang laban!

Itatta nga ti Abril 24, maysa nga karit kadatayu nga umay ken makipanagkaykaysa nga magselebrar iti Aldaw Kordilyera. Daga, biag, kinabaknang, salakniban! ✊

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines — April 9, 2026. The Cordillera Peoples Alliance (CPA) will spearhead the 42nd Peoples’ Cordillera Day through decentralized celebrations from April 24–25 across the region. Activities will be held in Itogon (April 22); Kalinga and Abra (April 24); Mountain Province, Ifugao, and Benguet Cluster (April 24–25); Apayao (April 25); and Baguio City (April 24–25). Beyond the Cordillera, commemorations will also take place in Manila (April 18), Canada (April 11), and Hong Kong (April 19).

This year’s central theme, “Ipinget ti Karbengan iti Daga, Biag, ken Kabiagan!” (Assert Our Right to Land, Life, and Livelihood), underscores the fight against development aggression, corruption, imperialist plunder, militarization, and state fascism, while drawing attention to the worsening impact of the national oil crisis on people’s welfare and livelihood.

“Peoples’ Cordillera Day is not just a commemoration. It is a political gathering to confront the burning issues of our time. Hundreds of mining and renewable energy projects continue to threaten ancestral lands, with major projects facing strong opposition from affected communities. On top of this, the oil price shock is hitting hardest in Baguio City’s transport sector and among the Cordillera peasantry,” said Ned Tuguinay, spokesperson of the Cordillera Peoples Alliance.

Decentralized celebrations will spotlight local struggles, each aligned with the central theme. These gatherings will provide host communities and organizations with opportunities to highlight grassroots realities and rally around urgent demands.

The Cordillera Peoples Alliance calls on communities, media, organizations, and solidarity groups to join the commemorations. We urge the public to stand with the people in defending ancestral territories, asserting livelihood, exposing corruption, and advancing human rights and social justice especially in these difficult times. #

What many dismiss as humor reflects a deeper, systemic problem of gender-based violence in our society.

6 MIN READThe backlash over Romeo Ogong’s remarks during Ibaloy Day showed how “just a joke” is often used to dismiss sexist language. For many women and young people in the city, misogyny is not abstract. It is familiar, personal, and embedded in everyday public life.

Pahayag ng Innabuyog Gabriela hinggil sa Oil Price Hike at Epekto Nito sa Kababaihan at mga Bata

Mariing kinokondena ng Innabuyog Gabriela ang panibagong pagtaas ng presyo ng langis na patuloy na nagpapahirap sa mamamayang Pilipino, lalo na sa kababaihan at mga bata. Sa bawat oil price hike, kasunod nito ang pagtaas ng presyo ng pagkain, pamasahe, kuryente, at iba pang batayang pangangailangan—na lalong nagpapabigat sa buhay ng mga pamilyang Pilipino.

Sa ganitong kalagayan, ang kababaihan ang unang sumasalo ng krisis. Bilang tagapangasiwa ng badyet sa tahanan, sila ang napipilitang maghigpit ng sinturon—magbawas ng pagkain, maghanap ng dagdag na kita, at akuin ang mas mabigat na responsibilidad upang maitawid ang pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan. Kasabay nito, tumitindi ang kanilang pisikal at emosyonal na pasanin.

Pinakamalubha ang epekto nito sa mga bata. Sa gitna ng tumataas na presyo, nalalagay sa panganib ang kanilang kalusugan at kinabukasan—tumataas ang kaso ng malnutrisyon, nababawasan ang baon at pamasahe, at napipilitang lumiban o tuluyang huminto sa pag-aaral. Maliwanag na ang oil price hike ay hindi lamang usapin ng ekonomiya kundi usapin ng karapatan at dignidad ng mamamayan.

Mariing iginigiit ng Innabuyog Gabriela na hindi sapat ang panandaliang ayuda upang tugunan ang krisis. Habang mahalaga ang agarang suporta sa mga apektadong pamilya, nananatili itong band aid na solusyon na hindi tinutugunan ang ugat ng problema. Sa halip na umasa lamang sa ayuda, dapat tanggalin ang VAT sa langis at sa lahat ng batayang bilihin, at ibasura ang excise tax sa produktong petrolyo at iba pang pangunahing pangangailangan—mga buwis na direktang nagpapataas sa presyo at nagpapahirap sa mamamayan.

Kasabay nito, nananawagan ang Innabuyog Gabriela para sa pagbasura sa oil deregulation law na nagbibigay-laya sa malalaking kumpanya ng langis na magtaas ng presyo nang walang sapat na regulasyon. Dapat ding ipatupad ang agarang price rollback sa produktong petrolyo upang maibsan ang bigat na dinaranas ng mamamayan.

Iginiit din ng Innabuyog Gabriela na kung maglalaan man ng ayuda ang pamahalaan, dapat itong direktang mapunta sa maralitang mamamayan—lalo na sa kababaihan at mga pamilyang higit na apektado—at hindi sa malalaking negosyante o korporasyon.

Panahon na upang papanagutin ang malalaking kumpanya ng langis at baguhin ang mga patakarang pumapabor sa kanila. Dapat unahin ang kapakanan ng mamamayan, hindi ang tubo ng iilan.

Hindi sapat ang ayuda—tanggalin ang VAT! Ibasura ang excise tax! Ibasura ang oil deregulation law!
Ipatupad ang price rollback!
Ibaba ang presyo ng langis at bilihin!
Ipaglaban ang karapatan ng kababaihan at mga bata!

The family and colleagues of Sarah Abellon-Alikes are seeking for your kind assistance for her medical treatment. She recently suffered a stroke, and is currently undergoing treatment in a hospital. This will be followed by continuous medication and therapy for at least six months, as advised by her doctors, to aid in her recovery. Any amount of financial support will go a long way in helping the family cover the costs of hospitalization, medicines, rehabilitation and recovery.

Sarah Abellon-Alikes, a Kankanaey-Igorot Indigenous activist and development worker, is among the founders of the Cordillera Peoples Alliance (CPA) in 1984. She has, since then, been a full-time volunteer of the organization, actively defending people’s rights in the region. From 2017 to present, she has faced several fabricated charges that were filed against her by state agents, most of which were dismissed by the courts. To date, she continues to face a pending case involving false terrorism financing charges. She was also among the four CPA leaders who were unjustly designated as terrorists by the Anti-Terrorism Council in 2023. All of these have already caused significant financial, emotional and psychological burdens on Sarah Alikes and her family over the years.
