"Our prisons are overcrowded, underfunded, and inhumane. Maraming nakakulong ang hindi dapat naroon sa simula pa lang—mga magsasaka, manggagawa, kabataan, at aktibista na pinaratangan ng gawa-gawang kaso. For those who are acquitted, freedom alone is not enough. Justice requires that the state makes amends by compensating them and helping them rebuild their lives."

[FILM REVIEW] Peppermint Candy is an unusual movie because it tackles issues that film makers shy away from including military violence, police brutality, macho culture and consumerism. It reflects realities that may not equate with entertainment, a legitimate aim of movies. But it also shows history that is raw and real and direct and understandable.

Our Story

Kodao is a Philippine alternative media organization that documents and amplifies the struggles and aspirations of the Filipino people for democracy, development and liberation from social injustices. Founded in 2000, it produces videos and radio programs as well as news reports that seek to amplify the voices of marginalized sectors of society. It also helps in the establishment of community radio stations and regional multi-media outfits across the Philippines.

Kodao is a chapter of the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines. It is a member of the International Association of Community Radio Broadcasters, People’s Alternative Media Network, and the Alliance of Community Media in SouthEast Asia. It has won awards and citations from the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas, Cultural Center of the Philippines, Gawad Agong, Pandayang Lino Brocka, Catholic Mass Media Awards, and others.

Kodao is named after the oldest indigenous form of calendar in the Philippines, a Lumad knotted rattan string whose every knot symbolizes a community event.
