Malaya Movement USA stands in full defense of our sovereign waters in the Philippines in light of the recent collision between Chinese and Philippine vessels in the Ayungin Shoal on October 21. We condemn China’s incursion and aggression in the West Philippine Sea, and denounce President Biden’s statement invoking the Mutual Defense Treaty(MDT) against China as a result of the incident. The U.S. military’s posturing in this increasingly volatile region puts the Philippines in a dangerous position.

Malaya Movement USA stands with the people of Palestine who are fighting for liberation and sovereignty amidst fascist oppression, violent zionist settler colonial occupation, and genocide.

As Filipino-Americans who have stood up against killings, brutal displacement, false imprisonment, and torture of everyday people fighting for land and rights by the Philippine government, Malaya Movement USA stands in solidarity with Palestinians who face the US-backed Israeli state’s 75-year long campaign to exterminate Palestinians. We stand in solidarity with those working towards a just and lasting peace in Palestine, which will only be achieved by solving the root cause of violence in the region: colonial occupation.

Malaya Movement USA denounces Marcos Jr.’s “revenge travel” overspending of nearly $1.5 million dollars in the past year. Poverty and unemployment/underemployment rates are worsening, yet the sitting President spends our people’s tax money as if it’s pocket change for his family’s personal use. It is insulting and disrespectful to the impoverished Filipino people who bear the brunt of this lavish spending.

As Malaya Movement USA concludes its 2nd National Assembly in New York City, we must do our duty as the overseas anti-dictatorship formation of Filipinos in commemorating the anniversary of Martial Law. We pay tribute to the martyrs and survivors of Marcos Sr.’s dictatorship as we raise the alarm regarding Marcos Jr.’s recycling of the dictator’s fascist tactics.

Malaya Movement USA urgently calls attention to the most recent development in the case of youth environmental activists Jonila Castro and Jhed Tamano.

In a live press conference by the National Task-Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), Castro and Tamano publicly revealed that they were in fact abducted and forced to “surrender” by the AFP.

Malaya Movement USA sounds the alarm regarding the Marcos Jr. regime’s proposed budget for 2024. The proposed budget is riddled with questionable priorities and suspicious spending, as if an economic crisis isn’t already drowning the Filipino people in more debt and rising prices.
