Former Sen. Bato Dela Rosa is literally running away from accountability, making a game out of his arrest. The Philippine government must surrender him immediately to the ICC and not delay any further. His crimes as the PNP chief at the height of the drug war speak for themselves – blood is on his hands, and the victims and their loved ones deserve swift justice.
Malaya Movement USA expresses our deepest condolences for the families of the Negros 19, including those of our friends from the U.S., Lyle Prijoles and Kai Sorem, in light of the autopsy report by forensic pathologist, Dr. Raquel Fortun.
A statement from our Malaya Tacoma chapter on the killing of Kai Sorem
Malaya Tacoma strongly condemns the blatant violations of international humanitarian law conducted by the US-Backed Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in Negros Occidental on April 19-20, 2026. For 12 hours straight, they carried out an operation of strafing that killed 19 people and displaced 653 residents.
Beloved Filipino American Kai Dana Rene Sorem was among the 19 who lost their lives in the massacre.
