Since the start of Rodrigo Duterte’s presidential term in 2016 and his so-called “war on drugs”, blatant unmasked fascism has been the norm for the Filipino people.

This fascism is aided by the policies he put in place like instituting the NTF-ELCAC, an agency that has garnered international outrage for baselessly red-tagging human rights defenders, community organizers, and activists and the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) of 2020, which erodes legal protections for the Filipino People. Duterte’s barbarous policies extend into the present day under Marcos Jr.’s administration.

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.
