We view with great alarm the threat against the life of Fr. Amado Picardal. We call on credible authorities to ensure the safety of the Redemptorist priest and investigate the matter.

DID YOU KNOW? Pinoys’ out-of-pocket spending for health still high despite increased govt funds: Tañada
Aug
Former legislator Erin Tañada on Friday batted for the passage of the twin measures of expanded universal health care and increased tobacco tax so that Filipinos will spend less on health.

Statement of Erin Tañada, Partido Liberal vice president for external affairs, on the minority fight at the House of Representatives

With Rep. Danilo Suarez’s tight grip on the post of Minority Leader, the entire House of Representatives is tarnished anew with the image of being fake, subservient, and uncritical.

Today, the 120th Anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence, we ask: Are we free from hunger and deprivation?

Does our educational system take us to the path of liberation from ignorance? Can we […]

Statement of Erin Tanada, Partido Liberal vice president for external affairs, on protecting Filipino fishermen from harassment of Chinese coast guard
Jun
Sa halip na gumawa ng paraan para maprotektahan ang ating mga mangingisda, matamlay na naman ang posisyon ng administrasyong Duterte ukol sa panggigipit at pagnanakaw ng Chinese coast guard. Ang malala pa rito, tila ginagamit ang makinarya ng gobyerno sa mga bayarang Internet troll laban sa mga kaawa-awang mangingisda ng Zambales, na nagdaan sa isang […]
