From November 14-17, Marcos Jr. was in San Francisco to participate in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders’ Meeting. This was his 18th trip abroad in just 16 months of office, bringing with him the largest Philippine delegation yet.

Malaya Movement USA opposes Marcos Jr.’s participation in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco, where the son of the dictator will further auction off the Philippines to foreign governments and corporations.

Despite this trip being his third to the United States and his 16th outside of the country since June 2022, the promised investments have yet to bear fruit for the Filipino people and has only resulted in more foreign subservience for the Philippines. APEC will be no different in that regard, that’s why we joined Filipinos and thousands of others in the streets of San Francisco on November 12-15.

Malaya Movement USA is proud to endorse the National March on Washington for Palestine alongside over 300+ organizations, the largest march for Palestine in U.S. history. Our members mobilized alongside over 300 Filipinos in the Filipinos4Palestine contingent as a show of our firm commitment and support for the people of Palestine who are fighting for liberation and sovereignty amidst fascist oppression, violent zionist settler colonial occupation, and genocide.

Malaya Movement USA stands in full defense of our sovereign waters in the Philippines in light of the recent collision between Chinese and Philippine vessels in the Ayungin Shoal on October 21. We condemn China’s incursion and aggression in the West Philippine Sea, and denounce President Biden’s statement invoking the Mutual Defense Treaty(MDT) against China as a result of the incident. The U.S. military’s posturing in this increasingly volatile region puts the Philippines in a dangerous position.

Malaya Movement USA stands with the people of Palestine who are fighting for liberation and sovereignty amidst fascist oppression, violent zionist settler colonial occupation, and genocide.

As Filipino-Americans who have stood up against killings, brutal displacement, false imprisonment, and torture of everyday people fighting for land and rights by the Philippine government, Malaya Movement USA stands in solidarity with Palestinians who face the US-backed Israeli state’s 75-year long campaign to exterminate Palestinians. We stand in solidarity with those working towards a just and lasting peace in Palestine, which will only be achieved by solving the root cause of violence in the region: colonial occupation.

Malaya Movement USA extends our deepest condolences to the loved ones of Jude Fernandez. Fernandez was a decades-long advocate for workers rights, organized as a union leader during Marcos Sr.’s Martial Law. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this government sanctioned attack and call for an independent investigation regarding the incident.
