In the face of such widespread disapproval for the Pax Silica Initiative, the Marcos administration is scrambling to gain public support for this destructive deal.

Migrant workers rights are human rights! Ambassador Romualdez, Marcos Jr, DFA, DMW are no help to Filipinos in the US!

On May Day, Malaya Movement USA took part in actions led by the Tanggol Migrante Network, BAYAN USA, and Migrante USA to protest the criminal neglect and willful abandonment of the Philippine government of Filipino workers, especially of migrants who are currently languishing in detention under Trump’s first 100 days. Filipinos and other migrants are suffering from inhumane and exploitative conditions in detention facilities, including Malaya Georgia member Alma Bowman, Ligaya Jensen in Arizona, and Aunty Lynn Dixon in Washington. In these profit-driven ICE detention centers, migrants are forced to work for as low as $1 per day to $2 as in the case of Ligaya.
