We kept her company, aware that at anytime, she would be picked up and brought to Camp Crame. Tomorrow marks the first year anniversary of Senator […]
Isang taon na ang nakakaraan, magkakasama kami ng ilang kaibigan, kapartido, at kaalyado nang nabalitaan namin ang atas ng administrasyong dakpin at ikulong si Senadora Leila de Lima.

That’s why, similarly, we can’t simply be dismissive about China’s naming of five seamounts within the Philippine Rise. Philippine Rise is within our territory and we should be the one to label it and parts of it. If […]
Free Leila! Senator Leila de Lima is a classic case of “nagmahal sa bayan, sinaktan, kinulong, pinagkakaitan ng karapatan.” Today, Valentine’s Day, is the start of a month-long commemoration of her year-long incarceration on false drug charges.
