Sa kanilang paglaya

"Lalaya kami. Naniniwala kami na lalaya rin kami. At sa araw ng aming paglaya, ipinapangako namin na kami ay agad babalik sa kumunidad at sa pagsisilbi sa sambayanang malaon ng pinagkaitan ng serbisyong pangkalusugan" 

-43 Health Workers in their 4th month of detention

Tama nga ang Morong 43, lalaya sila. Ganon pa man, ang naging desisyon ni Aquino na ipag-utos sa Department of Justice ang pagwi-withdraw sa mga kaso laban sa ‘Morong 43’ ay isang tagumpay na hindi dapat ikonsidera bilang bahagi ng kagandahang loob ng gobyerno. Ito ay bunga ng puspusang pakikibaka ng mga kapamilya, kaanak, kaibigan at tagasuporta ng mga detinidong health workers.

Statement of the Morong 43 on Day 1 of their Hunger Strike

December 3, 2010
Camp Bagong Diwa, Bicutan

Today we begin our hunger strike. This is the only course of action left us to end our continued illegal detention, there being no clear action by the government for our unconditional release.

On December 6, we will be on our 10th month in detention. We were arrested last February 6 by a joint AFP-PNP operation based on a defective warrant. We were tortured physically and psychologically, deprived of sleep, subjected to various indignities, threatened with harm, denied legal counsel for several days and illegally detained until now. Planted evidence was used and false charges were filed against us. Our human rights continue to be violated. Every day in jail is an injustice to us.

Never Forget

Media personalities remind the public not to forget the Ampatuan Massacre and to join the call for justice for the victims.

Welga kami laban sa budget cut!

WELGA! Ito na nga siguro ang pinakanararapat na gawin sa panahon na garapalang ipinagkakait sa mamamayan ang kanilang mga demokratikong karapatan. Dahil kahit kailan, wala namang napagtagumpayan sa isang "magandang usapan". Yung tipong makipagdiyalogo daw ng maayos at huwag maging radikal.
