Stop the attacks against progressive candidates & partylists! No to red-tagging!

Coffins filled with black propaganda targeting the Makabayan Coalition and progressive partylists were scattered throughout the country ahead of 2025 midterm elections.

Malaya Movement USA denounces the rampant red-tagging and attacks against the Makabayan senatorial candidates and Bayan Muna Partylist and other progressive partylists during this year’s midterm elections in the Philippines. Red-tagging was found to be the number one election campaign violation according to elections watchdog Vote Report PH as of April 30.

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.

Several weeks ago, Congressmember Raoul Manuel led the charge to investigate Vice President Sara Duterte’s highly suspicious request for half a billion pesos in funds for “confidential” use. Soon after, he questioned President Marcos Jr.’s sham designation of the 2024 National Expenditure Budget for “emergency” passage to sidestep proper deliberation. Predictably, Marcos-Duterte ally Senator Bato Dela Rosa and former Philippine National Police chief, desperately launched a witch hunt against Manuel and unleashed the government bureaucracy to designate him a subversive.
