ILANTAD AT LABANAN ANG MONOPOLYONG AQUINO-COJUANCO SA LUPA. (tags)
Para sa PESANTE-USA, ang grupong nagtataguyod nginteres ng mga magsasaka sa Amerika ,ang kaso ng Hacienda Luisita ay sumisimbolo sa malakolonyal at malapyudal na sistemang gumagapos sa bansa sa pagkaatrasado at walang katapusang krisis. Ang Hacienda Luisita katulad ng mga malalaking asyenda sa Pilipinas at mga lupaing ari ng mga pamilyang asendero-kapitalista ay salaysay ng masidhing pagsasamantala at pang-aapi, maigting na makauring tunggalian atpakikibaka para sa matagal nang minimithing katarungang panlipunan. Katulad ng Hacienda San Antonio-Santa Isabel sa Isabela,Hacienda Looc sa Batangas, Legarda , Prieto( may-ari ng Inquirer at may monoployo sa media) San Roque North Triangle at Tuazon Estates sa syudad ng Maynila mismo ay patunay ng walang lubay na maniobra at pakana ng angkang asendero pang mapanatili ng kanilang monopolyo sa asyenda at hadlangan ang pamamahagi nito sa mgamagsasaka, manggagawang bukid at maralitang taga-lunsod.
PEOPLE’S CORE CO-SPONSORS DISASTER RELIEF FOR THE PHILIPPINES FLOOD VICTIMS (tags)
Typhoon Ondoy smashed ashore in the Philippines on Friday, September 25th, killing over 400 people in Manila's worst flooding in generations. More than 80 percent of Manila was under water Sunday. The Philippine authorities are still struggling to help the hundreds of thousands of people affected by the devastating floods of Typhoon Ondoy. Over 240 people have died and the death toll is rising. Thirty-eight people are still missing. Almost 2 million people have been affected by the flooding. More than 380, 000 have reportedly abandoned their homes. Over 450, 000 people have taken refuge in emergency evacuation centers. However, finding shelter has not alleviated the suffering. Food, sanitation, and medical supplies are low. Major relief efforts are underway, yet are not sufficient to support the people’s needs for long. More support is needed. It is our time to help. People’s CORE is a federally recognized non-profit organization locally based in Historic Filipinotown, Los Angeles (Federal Tax Id Number: 93-1216789). Working in partnership with four other non-profit and community-based organizations, AKAP (Ang Kalusugan para sa Pinoy, Inc.), AJLPP (Alliance for Just and Lasting Peace in the Philippines), KmB Pro-People Youth, and JFAV (Justice for Filipino American Veterans), People’s CORE launched Sagip Tulong sa Pilipinas (STP) Relief Drive on September 27th, 2009. The STP Relief Drive is collecting monetary and material donations such as clothes, shoes, medicines or non-perishable foods such as canned goods, to support the disaster relief efforts in the Philippines. This relief project will support food, sanitation, medical services and supplies for the victims of Typhoon Ondoy in the Philippines.

LACSON BOYS TO BE FREED BY US COURTS (tags)
The AJLPP learned today that a Federal Appeals court on Friday vacated the sentence of a former Philippine National Police officer imprisoned for possessing secret US documents. Michael Ray Aquino is serving a six-year, four-month sentence after pleading guilty to unauthorized possession of classified documents.The new ruling in US District Court concluded that the sentence was based on a mistaken interpretation of federal guidelines. "For the AJLPP the news of the release proves that the charade of injustice is ever present when it comes to the cabal of AFP men who served as worst human rights violator and proven puppets of the United Statesmilitary like the Lacson boys," AJLPP said.
The Tribute to Don White and Racism in LA (tags)
The long tribute to Companero Don White last August 10th at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church went well except it was filled with Latin American machismo and had racist undertones. It was a deliberate attempt to overlook a specific race- the Asian American Pacific Islander (API) communities which Don White worked well while he was alive.
