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.

Marcos Jr. announced his bid for a non-permanent seat at the UN Security Council (UNSC) during his speech at United Nations in September 2022 at the 77th UN General Assembly.

Marcos Jr. spent P20 million during his March 2026 visit to the UN to campaign for the seat. The vote will take place in New York on June 3rd.

Malaya Movement USA strongly condemns the Armed Forces of the Philippines' massacre of 19 and displacement of over 650 in Negros Occidental on April 19, 2026.

We reject the AFP's blatant lies that the 19 Filipinos killed were dangerous terrorists. We know the truth: that they were peasant activists, student leaders, media workers, and other community members whose only crime was serving the people of Negros when the Philippine government refused to.

The International Criminal Court has found substantial evidence of crimes against humanity and murder against former Pres. Rodrigo Duterte. The ICC will move forward with the trial.

Duterte may not show up in court but the world, and especially the loved ones of his 30,000+ victims will be paying attention. We welcome the revelation of eight co-perpetrators in Duterte's deadly scheme and swift action must be taken to ensure they are held to account. With the critical addition of at least 500 claimants in the trial, we remain cautiously optimistic that the trial will bring justice and Duterte would be held accountable for his crimes against the Filipino people.

As Filipino educators and allies in the United States, we echo the calls to release Filipino American youth activist, Chantal Anicoche, from the custody of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and safely return her to the United States. While a student leader at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Chantal learned about her identity, culture, and indigenous and environmental issues in the province of Mindoro, Philippines.
