[av_dropcap1]T[/av_dropcap1]he Filipino people’s outrage is rapidly accumulating against Rodrigo Duterte over the blood being spilt under his repressive tyrannical rule.
They indict Duterte for the successive killings of several youths these past days by his armed minions: Kian delos Santos, 17 years old, Carl Angelo Arnaiz, 19 and Reynaldo de Guzman, 14, who all were tortured and killed by stabbing and shooting by the police in the “war against drugs”; and Obillio Bay-ao, 19, Lumad youth in Talaingod, Davao del Norte, who was shot and killed by paramilitary forces.
The people indict Duterte for the thousands upon thousands of lives snuffed by the three wars he has launched: the Oplan Tokhang “war against drugs”, the Oplan Kapayapaan war of suppression and martial law in Mindanao and the anti-Moro war and destruction of Marawi. The people detest Duterte for repeatedly ensuring protection and giving incentives to police and soldiers for blindly following his kill orders.
Duterte’s hands drip with blood in his wars of death and destruction. His soldiers and police run amuck. Over the past two weeks, almost 20 were killed under Oplan Kapayapaan. Oplan Tokhang killings are relentless. The AFP’s war in Marawi continues zealously after more than a 100 days of siege.
The people are fed up with Duterte’s repetitious, scornful and self-conceited speeches. His pretensions, spectacles and false images are rapidly losing efficacy in the face of actual measures, policies and programs which harm the interests of the people and oppress the downtrodden.
Duterte is turning a deaf ear to the calls of the people He does not heed the cries of Marawi and the Moro people, the anguish of the fathers and mothers of the youth murdered by the police, the clamor of the national minorities and peasants against militarization and repression, the outcry against aerial bombings, and the grievances of the urban poor, the workers, the youth and other classes and sectors against oppression and exploitation.
The people increasingly loathe the Duterte regime and its repressive policies such as its plan for a National ID system, the recently enacted law to suppress the freedom of expression and its push for charter change to give Duterte further monopoly of political power. Workers are bound to suffer greater oppression in the plan to abolish the 8-hour workday.
The national democratic forces must act vigorously to expand and consolidate the ranks of mass organizations and build the people’s broadest unity in order to isolate and resist the US-Duterte regime, its triple wars and various pro-imperialist, anti-people and anti-democratic policies and programs.
Every issue the people face under the Duterte regime compel them to unite in different forms of broad alliances. These alliances can involve various forces and Duterte’s political rivals. More importantly, these should reach out, mobilize and unite various organizations and associations in schools, communities, parishes, barangays, offices and so on.
Duterte’s “war against drugs” is now rousing widespread resistance over police abuses and killings. Various personalities, sectors, organizations and institutions are standing up. Youth organizations in communities and schools are waiting to be brought together in a broad front against Oplan Tokhang and police abuses and to demand a comprehensive socio-economic solution to the drug problem.
There is also basis to build a broad alliance against Oplan Kapayapaan and the anti-Moro war as well as against such repressive measures such as the National ID system. The people must unite as well to resist the suppression of the freedom of expression under the guise of fighting “fake news.” The mass of workers must be united to defend the 8-hour working day and to fight for regularization and wage increases.
Various forces can also unite against Duterte’s measures to suppress his political rivals (through detention, impeachment and murder) and to monopolize political power through charter change under its supposed pursuit of “federalism.”
The climate of awe and fear imposed by Duterte is now slowly being overcome and repudiated by the people. Amid the people’s widespread aversion of the US-Duterte regime, millions upon millions are awaiting the opportunity to join and act in order to demonstrate their stand against the fascist, anti-people and anti-democratic regime.

[av_dropcap1]M[/av_dropcap1]abilis na naiipon ang galit ng sambayanang Pilipino kay Rodrigo Duterte sa patuloy na pagdanak ng dugo sa ilalim ng kanyang mapaniil na paghahari.
Sinasakdal nila si Duterte sa sunud-sunod na pagpatay ng kanyang mga armadong utusan sa mga kabataan nitong nagdaang mga araw: sina Kian delos Santos, 17, Carl Angelo Arnaiz, 19 taon at Reynaldo de Guzman, 14, na pawang pinahirapan at pinatay sa saksak at pagbaril ng mga pulis sa ilalim ng “gera kontra-droga;” at si Obillo Bay-ao, 19, kabataang Lumad mula sa Talaingod, Davao del Norte na binaril at pinatay ng mga pwersang paramilitar.
Sinasakdal ng sambayanan si Duterte sa libu-libong buhay na kinitil sa tatlong gerang kanyang pinasimulan: ang Oplan Tokhang na “gera kontra droga,” ang Oplan Kapayapaan na gerang panunupil at batas militar sa Mindanao at ang gerang kontra-Moro at pagwasak sa Marawi. Kinasusuklaman ng bayan ang tila walang-katapusang pagbibigay ni Duterte ng proteksyon at pabuya sa mga pulis at sundalo na bulag na nagpapatupad ng kanyang utos ng pagpatay.
Duguan ang kamay ni Duterte sa kanyang mga gera ng pagpatay at pagwasak. Naninibasib ang kanyang mga sundalo at pulis. Sa nakaraang dalawang linggo, halos 20 ang pinatay sa ilalim ng Oplan Kapayapaan. Walang-habas ang pamamaslang ng mga pulis sa ilalim ng Oplan Tokhang. Walang-habas pa rin ang gera ng AFP sa Marawi na mahigit 100 araw na nitong kinubkob.
Suyang-suya na ang taumbayan sa paulit-ulit, mapang-uyam at bilib-sa-sariling mga talumpati ni Duterte. Mabilis na naglalaho ang bisa ng kanyang mga pagkukunwari, palabas at asta sa harap ng kongkretong mga hakbangin, patakaran at programang pumipinsala sa interes ng bayan at nang-aapi sa mahihirap.
Nagtetengang kawali si Duterte. Bingi siya sa taghoy ng Marawi at mamamayang Moro, sa pananangis ng mga ama’t ina ng dumaraming kabataang pinatay ng mga pulis, sa hiyaw ng mga pambansang minorya at mga magsasaka laban sa militarisasyon at panunupil, sa malawakang sigaw kontra sa paghuhulog ng bomba, sa daing ng mga maralitang lunsod, manggagawa, mga kabataan at iba pang uri at sektor laban sa pang-aapi at pagsasamantala.
Lalong tumitindi ang pagkamuhi ng bayan sa rehimeng Duterte at mga patakaran nitong mapaniil katulad ng itinutulak nitong National ID system, batas sa pagsupil sa pamamahayag at pag-amyenda sa konstitusyon para lalong mamonopolyo ni Duterte ang kapangyarihang pampulitika. Ibayong pang-aapi ang daranasin ng mga manggagawa sa planong ibasura ang 8-oras na arawang trabaho.
Dapat puspusang kumilos ang mga pwersang pambansa-demokratiko para palawakin at patatagin ang mga organisasyong masa at buuin ang pinakamalapad na bukluran ng sambayanan at ihiwalay at labanan ang rehimeng US-Duterte, ang tatlong gera nito at ang iba’t ibang patakaran at programa nitong maka-imperyalista, kontra-mamamayan at kontra-demokratiko.
Bawat usaping kinakaharap ng mamamayan sa ilalim ng rehimeng Duterte ay nagtutulak sa kanila na magbuklod sa iba’t ibang anyo ng malalapad na alyansa. Mapalalahok sa mga alyansang ito ang iba’t ibang mga pwersa at pulitikong karibal ni Duterte. Higit dito, dapat abutin, pakilusin at buklurin ang iba’t ibang samahan o asosasyon sa mga paaralan, sa mga komunidad, parokya, barangay, sa mga upisina, at iba pa.
Kaliwa’t kanan ngayon ang pagtutol sa “gera kontra-droga” ni Duterte at sa mga pagpatay at abuso ng mga pulis. Tumitindig ang iba’t ibang personahe, sektor, mga organisasyon at institusyon. Ang mga organisasyon ng mga kabataan sa mga komunidad at paaralan ay naghihintay ng magbubuklod sa kanila sa isang malawak na samahan laban sa Oplan Tokhang at mga abusong pulis at para sa komprehensibong solusyong panlipunan at pang-ekonomya sa problema ng droga.
May batayan din para buuin ang malapad na pagkakaisa laban sa Oplan Kapayapaan at gerang anti-Moro at mga hakbanging mapaniil tulad ng National ID. Dapat magkaisa rin para labanan ang pagsupil sa karapatan sa pamamahayag sa tabing ng pagkontrol sa “pekeng balita.” Dapat ding malawakang pagkaisahin ang masang manggagawa para ipagtanggol ang karapatan sa 8-oras na araw ng pagtatrabaho, para sa regularisasyon at umento sa sahod.
Dapat magkaisa rin ang iba’t ibang pwersa laban sa mga hakbangin ni Duterte para supilin ang kanyang mga karibal sa pulitika (pagkukulong, pagpapatalsik sa pwesto o pagpatay) at para monopolisahin ang kapangyarihang pampulitika sa anyo ng pagbabago sa konstitusyon sa ngalan ng “pederalismo.”
Ang pinaiiral ni Duterte na klima ng sindak at takot ay unti-unting pinangingibabawan at iwinawaksi ng mamamayan. Sa tindi at lawak ng pagkasuklam sa rehimeng US-Duterte, milyun-milyong mamamayan ang naghihintay ng pagkakataong makipagkaisa at kumilos upang ipamalas ang kanilang paninindigan laban sa pasista, kontra-mamamayan at kontra-demokratikong rehimen.
