US-PHILIPPINES ALLIANCE: A VIEW FROM THE PEOPLE!

On March 17, Filipino migrants and allies confronted the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C. while Ambassador Romualdez gave opening remarks at an event on the "U.S.-Philippines Alliance".

He declared that the Philippines was better off having been a U.S. colony. That Filipino migrants aren't being targeted by rising immigration enforcement.

Our movement showed up to expose who really benefits from selling out the sovereignty of the Philippines - the ruling elite that Romualdez represents!

We have seen over the last year how he neglects hundreds of seafarers and other Overseas Filipino Workers, and sees no problem with the Philippines being used as a launching pad for the U.S. to wage war in the Middle East.

Romualdez, do your job and defend our kababayan, or step down!

‼️ Is a fascist president qualified to speak on women’s rights? Our answer is, HELL NO!!

Melanie from Malaya Baltimore stands outside the Pierre Hotel in NYC where Philippine president B**g B**g Marcos Jr. will stay through this week in the US.

He’s scheduled to speak in front of United Nations Commission for Women, but this guy isn’t qualified. There are so many Filipina women working in the United States, but how does he provide support for these women working abroad?

When activ1st Alma Bowman was detained for years in 1CE detention, where was the support from the Philippine government? For Alma’s case and many other Filipina women in the US there has been complete radio silence from the Philippine government.

🗣️ So Marcos, we have a message for you: Silence does not make you a champion for women’s rights, it makes you a COWARD!
