Wala na sigurong mas tatampok pa sa pagiging kroni — sa parehong Marcos Senior at Marcos
Junior administration– kundi ang San Miguel Corporation.

Sa ALAB Special na ito, suriin natin kung paano lalong lumalaki ang tubo ng isang kroni dahil sa
mahigpit na koneksyon nito sa gobyerno — at kung paano sa ganitong sistema, lalo pang
ninanakawan at pinagkakakitaan ang taumbayan.

‎"DENOUNCE THE FASCIST, CORRUPT, AND REPRESSIVE US-MARCOS REGIME!"
‎
‎HIGHLIGHTS: Human rights defenders and multi-sectoral allies converged at Liwasang Bonifacio to commemorate the International Human Rights Day on December 10.
‎
‎Karapatan Alliance led the mobilization and underscored the effect of immense corruption on people's democratic rights, coupled with repressive attacks on dissent and criticism.
‎
‎"The Marcos Jr. regime has consistently responded with repression as we rise to resist transgressions on people’s rights," the group stated, citing the government's record-high human rights violations tally and the implementation of the repressive National Action Plan for Unity Peace and Development (NAP-UPD).
‎
‎The group also hit Sara Duterte as she remains free of charges despite massive plunder of public funds, which "amply demonstrated to the Filipino people that the solution does not lie in installing Marcos Jr.’s equally corrupt and fascist successor as president".
‎
‎"We are dying from a system that has held us in a stranglehold with US-imposed economic programs that have impoverished us, with US-designed counter-insurgency schemes that have brutalized us, and with bureaucratic greed and corruption that have deprived us of the wherewithal to live decently", the alliance stated.
‎
‎The group then proceeded to the Mendiola Peace Arch to conclude the commemoration protest.

‎WATCH | Elmer Cordero of PISTON dances as activists burn the Marcos-Duterte effigy at the International Human Rights Day mobilization last December 10.
‎
‎Tatay Elmer is a member of the Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Operator Nationwide (PISTON). He was one of the jeepney drivers arrested in June 2020 while protesting the government's lackluster response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which left them jobless for almost a year.
‎
‎During the International Human Rights Day mobilization, PISTON continues to echo its calls against the anti-poor PUV Modernization Program (PUVMP) and demands a just transition that does not force drivers and operators out of their jobs and drive them to debt.

HIGHLIGHTS: Kabataang Makabayan (KM) staged a protest along Sampaloc, Manila, last December 5, vehemently condemning the Marcos-Duterte administration's worsening corruption and fascism.

Days after commemorating its 61st founding anniversary, Kabataang Makabayan (KM) chapters called for the ouster of Marcos and Duterte, emphasizing the necessity of overthrowing bureaucrat capitalism through people's war. They asserted that this is the only path to achieve critical demands such as genuine land reform, wage increases, and truly free education for the people.

"Hudyat ng pagsabog ng iskandalo sa korapsyon ang sintomas ng paghihingalo ng naghaharing sistema sa gitna ng krisis na kinailangang itindig ang pinakamasahol na operasyon ng pagnanakaw at pananamantala ng dinastiya at negosyo gamit ang estado na nakita natin sa kasaysayan," Maria Laya Guerrero, KM National Spokesperson said.

The revolutionary group KM, established on November 30, 1964, operates under the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP). According to the group, more youth will take up arms as long as the Marcos-Duterte feud continues to deepen the socio-economic crisis in the country.

"Isulong natin ang kilusang protesta tungong kilusang talsik at maging kilusang welga at iba pang anyo ng pakikibaka para sa demokratikong karapatan at sa pagpapabagsak din sa imperyalismo, pyudalismo at burukrata Kapitalismo." Guerrero ended.

"ABOLISH NTF-ELCAC NOW!"

HIGHLIGHTS: Karapatan and allied groups trooped to the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Napolcom Center on Thursday, December 4, to denounce the continuing series of terror tagging and human rights violations under the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC).

NTF-ELCAC was established on the same date in 2018 through Executive Order 70 (EO70), signed by then-President Rodrigo Duterte. The agency is a central figure in counterinsurgency programs, which have endangered countless human rights defenders, community organizers, and even ordinary Filipinos over the past seven years.

Karapatan Secretary General Cristina Palabay criticized the Marcos Jr. administration's unavowed support for the agency, funding it with PHP 8.08 billion for 2026. "Instead of allocating billions of pesos to this nefarious state terror machine, the Filipino people would be better served if such funds were rechanneled to urgently needed social services," she stated.

“As the main implementer of the Marcos administration’s counter-insurgency blueprint, the National Action Plan for Unity, Peace, and Development, the NTF-ELCAC continues to be Marcos’ main machinery for state terrorism, despite domestic and international clamor for its abolition,” she added.

Karapatan reported three recent attacks against human rights defenders. Agriculturist Gary Buban of Damayan nin Paraoma, a Bicol-based farmers' group, was last seen on November 28 in Camarines Sur. He was heavily red-tagged in the locality before his disappearance.

Two days later, during the November 30 Bonifacio Day protests, a pamphlet red-tagging activists and community organizers in Bicol spread across towns in Albay, Sorsogon, and Camarines Sur.

On the same day, 11 armed personnel of the Philippine National Police forcibly entered the residence of indigenous environmental defender Elma Awingan-Tuazon in Kalinga.

"This terrorizing agency is a bane to the Filipino people. It must be abolished immediately," Palabay asserted.

ICYMI: Thomasian student leader Raven Kristine Racelis filed a formal complaint against red-tagging by the NTF-ELCAC and other related state agencies before the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) on Friday, December 5.

The complaint stems from the "Terror Grooming Colloquium" held at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) on November 6, sponsored by the Department of Political Science and the National Security Council (NSC).

After the event, a student and a professor from the same department made sexist and terror-tagging remarks against Racelis online. She has continued to receive these insults from online trolls to this day.

Racelis also denounced UST’s failure to protect her, as a constituent, from these threats. “There has been no clarification, no assurance of safety, and no accountability from the Department of Political Science. It is demeaning, saddening, and alarming,” she stated.

Together with Kabataan Partylist (KPL)–UST Artlets, her organization, the student leader forwarded demands to the university leadership. They asserted NTF-ELCAC and its cohorts must be held accountable for the orchestrated attacks against her. They demanded concrete response, including a public condemnation of the attacks, from the UST administration.

Racelis also asserted the cited student and professor, who remain scot-free, must be investigated for their irresponsible actions.

KPL-UST Artlets also launched a petition on the same day to declare NTF-ELCAC persona non grata within the university, challenging UST to cut ties with the task force and its affiliated agencies.

“We raise these demands not out of self-pity, but out of the firm belief that silence is complicity and that the fight for academic freedom is inseparable from the fight for human rights,” Racelis concluded.

HIGHLIGHTS: More than 60 members of Kabataang Makabayan held a protest at UP Diliman on November 27, just days before their 61st founding anniversary, demanding the overthrow of the bureaucrat-capitalist system upheld by the Marcos and Duterte administrations, which thrive on corruption and fascism.

Led by Kabataang Makabayan chapters KM-Andres Bonifacio and KM-Antonio Zumel, the revolutionary group fiercely denounced the Marcos-Duterte regime for plundering trillions in funds earmarked for education and livelihoods.

They declared that the deepening socioeconomic crisis validates the youth's growing resolve to join the people's war, which they state—the only path to smash the rotten system.

The protest is also joined by other National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) allied organizations such as Artista at Manunulat ng Sambayanan (Armas, or People’s Artists and Writers), Katipunan ng mga Gurong Makabayan (Kaguma, or Alliance of Patriotic Educators) and Liga ng Agham para sa Bayan (LAB, or League of People’s Scientists).

Kabataang Makabayan, established on November 30, 1964, envisions to carry forward Andres Bonifacio's revolutionary ideals, championing leadership of the peasants and workers.

ICYMI: The Pillar, the official student publication of University of Eastern Philippines, marked Bonifacio Day, November 30, by onboarding new staffers through anti-corruption actions in the newsroom.

In partnership with the College Editors Guild of the Philippines - Eastern Visayas, student journalists engaged in discussions on the history of Andres Bonifacio, affirming the challenge to carry forward his revolutionary spirit by reporting alongside the masses.

“Kung may injustice, we speak. Kung may mali, we write. Kung may pang-aabuso, we organize. At kung si Bonifacio ang nagpasiklab ng apoy noon, tayo naman ang dapat magpaningas ngayon,” said Trisha Mae Docil, Feature Editor of The Pillar.

Furthermore, they filled their newsroom with calls to resist corruption and defend press freedom. The Pillar demands fiscal autonomy over its publication funds and calls on the school to protect them from red-tagging and state surveillance enabled by Memorandum Order 32 and the Anti-Terror Law.

These draconian Duterte-era policies have intensified the Armed Forces of the Philippines' militarization in Eastern Visayas, fostering an environment of intimidation and impunity under the pretext of national security.
