Drop the charges against the Makabayan Coalition and those unjustly charged under BP 880! 

Malaya Movement USA condemns the bogus and unjust trumped-up charges against the Makabayan senatorial candidates and other community leaders filed on January 9 in Manila. The 13 are the most recent in a slew of charges using Batas Pambansa 880 (BP 880) or the “Public Assembly Act of 1985” as pretense for political repression, citing their participation during the November 30 Bonifacio Day mobilizations as being in violation of the Marcos Sr. era law.

As Trump returns to the White House, Malaya USA remains steadfast in building an organized movement against fascism. We call on the Filipino-American community to join us in the fight against the fascist Trump and Marcos tandem in order to protect the welfare and safety of the Filipino community, and to defend democracy, human rights, and sovereignty for the Philippines.

On Duterte being charged for his deadly War on Drugs, Atom Araullo’s case against red-tagging, and Malaya Movement USA’s role in the anti-fascist fight since 2018.

This International Human Rights Day, Malaya Movement USA joins organizations in the Philippines calling for justice and accountability against the Marcos and Duterte regimes for their crimes against the Filipino people.

IMPEACH SARA! Vice President Sara Duterte’s unhinged tirades shows she is unfit for office. Much like her tyrant father, she is undeserving of one of the highest seats of power in the Philippines. Malaya Movement USA echoes the people’s organizations in the Philippines calling for her impeachment. 

It is critical that both Sara and Rodrigo Duterte are held accountable for their crimes. It is equally as critical that Marcos Jr. should be held accountable for his crimes against the Filipino people.

Impeach Sara! Duterte, Ikulong! Marcos Jr. singilin!

During the entirety of the 2024 election cycle, the members of the Malaya Movement have stressed that regardless of which candidate wins the United States presidency, there’s a long road ahead in order to advance the interests of the Filipino-American community. And while we face the same anti-people, anti-immigrant, anti-poor, and pro-war policies as we would if Kamala Harris had won, we are aware that these will be made worse by an openly fascist, violent, racist, and xenophobic agenda that Donald Trump brings with him to the White House.
