We welcome the ICC arrest warrant for former PNP Chief and current Senator Bato Dela Rosa for his crimes in Duterte’s drug war. The Philippine government must immediately facilitate Bato’s arrest and transfer to the Hague where he must face consequences as chief architect of Duterte’s drug war.
As more than 200,000 people flooded the streets in the Philippines, Filipinos overseas took part in the widespread protest against corruption, impunity and fascism, including Malaya Movement USA chapters across the United States on the 53rd anniversary of Marcos Sr.’s declaration of Martial Law.
Malaya Movement USA joins millions of Filipinos in the Philippines and around the world who are disgusted by the rampant theft of billions of pesos of the people’s money by wealthy politicians and top contractors through fraudulent “ghost” flood control projects in the Philippines. The lavish lifestyles of corrupt public officials in the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the heads of construction companies they’ve colluded with, are paid for in dozens to hundreds of Filipino lives each year. But the biggest and most guilty politician in the Philippines is the one pretending to lead this publicity crusade against corruption - President Bongbong Marcos Jr. (BBM) himself.
