Malaya Movement USA condemns in the strongest terms the killing of human rights defender,  former journalist and radio broadcaster, and trans activist Ali Macalintal. No matter how hard Marcos Jr. tries to distance himself from Rodrigo Duterte, it is clear that  impunity continues under his administration.

To Filipinos in the US, be alert of known criminal violators of human rights, Jeffrey Celiz and Royina Garma, who in this moment are trying to escape accountability in the Philippines by seeking refuge in the US. Celiz is applying for political asylum in Canada.

Malaya Movement USA welcomes the recent Supreme Court decision declaring that red-tagging and vilification by association “threaten the Right to Life, Liberty, and Security of those accused,” as a result of a court case for activist and former representative of the party-list Bayan Muna, Siegfred Deduro, who was red-tagged by military officials in 2020.
