The brave Filipino rights advocates

THE brave Filipinos who love their country are committed to helping the poor and the exploited and are changing the culture of corruption and injustice that pervades our nation are being killed and arbitrarily arrested. Good people must support them and their cause for social justice and demand an end to the violence against them. Wayward police and military units are allegedly killing human rights activists, labor leaders, journalists, and advocates for exploited farmers, workers and Indigenous peoples (IPs).

These are courageous Filipinos whom the nation should be proud of, and take a stand to defend them and not believe the false claims and slurs against their work for the poor and the exploited.
