Instead of addressing the basic problems faced by Filipinos, Marcos has instead opted to sell-out the country and its resources for his own gains. Just last week, as the country was being ravaged by another typhoon, Marcos met with fascist US president Donald Trump to negotiate the worst possible deal – leaving with a 2% tariff rate increase from 17% to 19%. BBM and his team are so desperate to spin his embarrassing results, but there is no sugarcoating this – it was a bad deal and Marcos should be ashamed.

Malaya Movement USA response to Marcos’ SONA

The picture Marcos Jr. painted in his SONA is a pretty one, if it were accurate. We are not surprised that Marcos Jr. 's proclamations put his regime in a positive light, while largely ignoring the genuine plight of the majority of the Philippines.

Ahead of President Marcos’ State of the Nation Address, members of the Malaya Movement USA want to put attention on the concerns of the millions of Filipinos in the United States about the daily realities of our kababayan under his and Vice President Sara Duterte’s administration, as the past two years have taught us that the suffering of the majority is not given justice in his address.
