Let a Thousand Community Pantries Bloom!
The Malaya Movement fully supports the Filipino people and their Community Pantry movement. What started in a small bamboo cart in Maginhawa street, Quezon City resonated to many and blossomed into a nationwide movement of communities helping each other. On one hand, this reflects the inspiring bayanihan spirit of helping each other. On the other, this reflects the grim reality of widespread desperation and hunger. This is a direct result of the disastrous pandemic response of the Duterte regime.
Malaya Movement calls for Justice for AK Guillen!
The Malaya Movement strongly condemns the recent attack on progressive lawyer and dedicated human rights advocate, Attorney Angelo Karlo “AK” Guillen, last week in the city of Iloilo. Heading to his car, Wednesday evening, Atty. AK was chased down and mauled by two masked and unidentified individuals who stabbed him with a screwdriver and fled the scene with the attorney’s backpack and side bad. Atty. AK is in recovery, but may suffer further complications resulting from the stab wounds in his left temple and back.

Justice for Randall “Ka Randy” Echanis! Stop the Killings of Peace Advocates and Activists!
The Malaya Movement condemns the assassination of Randall “Ka Randy” Echanis, National Chairperson of Anakpawis Partylist and Deputy Secretary-General of Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP), who died in his Quezon City home early Monday. We also denounce the actions of the PNP who seized his dead body later that evening from his grieving wife and family. Erlinda, Ka Randy’s wife, identified his body earlier that day, noticing signs of torture as well as multiple gunshot and stabbing wounds. We further condemn the illegal arrest and detention of paralegal Paolo Colabres, and the ridiculous charge of “obstruction to justice” for attending to the retrieval of Ka Randy’s forcibly removed remains by police.
Sulong! Defeat Duterte’s Anti-Terror Law!
As brutal and bloody as they were, the past four years under Duterte might have only been a preamble to a more ruthless and unrelenting rule. Almost as soon as Duterte signed the Anti-Terror Law (ATL), repression and fascism have run rampant, seemingly picking up speed by the day!
