IN PHOTOS: Multisectoral mobilization calling for the arrest of Bato Dela Risa and the impeachment of Sara Duterte at Freedom Park, Cebu CAP: A circus in the Senate, while millions of Filipinos endure crisis. What unfolded in the Senate on May 13 was not about the people's welfare, but a vicious tug-of-war between the Marcos and Duterte factions over power and political survival. The Filipino people were reduced to mere spectators in a conflict between rival ruling blocs desperate to preserve control. The chaos we witnessed exposed the rotten culture of impunity that has long corrupted Philippine politics. The escalation of tensions, including armed confrontation, further revealed the double standards embedded in the system. Powerful figures remain protected while ordinary Filipinos are too often killed, silenced, or criminalized under the familiar claim of “nanlaban.” For the marginalized, even the slightest glimmer of justice is nearly absent in Philippine courts. Yet figures like Ronald dela Rosa, long linked to the bloody War on Drugs, continue to enjoy protection. This political spectacle also served as a diversion from what is truly at stake: the conviction and accountability of Sara Duterte. The public must remain vigilant and militant, refusing to be distracted by factional infighting among the ruling elite. Meanwhile, Bongbong Marcos issued a belated statement deflecting responsibility, while Sara Duterte remained silent. Their inaction showed that neither camp truly serves the people. All of this unfolded as the country continues to face worsening conditions. While the Senate dimmed its lights for political drama, millions of Filipinos remain trapped in poverty and neglect. The Filipino people deserve none of this circus. At the core of all this is a system that protects a few bureaucrat-capitalists while abandoning the many, especially workers and farmers. It is a system that will not correct itself, because it was built to preserve the very impunity it now displays. Bato dela Rosa must be sent to The Hague. Sara Duterte must be convicted. Marcos Jr. should be next. #SaraPanagutin #BatoArestuhin

CAP Cebu stands with BAYAN Central Visayas in demanding accountability and justice. WHAT: Protest Action on Sara Impeachment, Bato Arrest WHEN: May 15, 2026 | 5:00 PM WHERE: Cebu Freedom Park The continuing efforts to shield VP Sara Duterte and Sen. Bato dela Rosa from accountability exposes a system designed to protect political elites while denying justice to the people. Duterte’s office burned through PHP 125 million in confidential funds in just 11 days, revealing blatant misuse of public funds and utter disregard for transparency and accountability. Meanwhile, dela Rosa, who served as PNP Chief during the Duterte administration, remains complicit in the bloody war on drugs and the thousands of extrajudicial killings carried out under its reign of terror. As state forces are increasingly used to intimidate, silence, and suppress dissent, it is clear that fellow elites will never genuinely hold one another accountable. True justice can only come from the people through organized mass action that confronts corruption, fascism, and the culture of impunity. CONVICT SARA! ARREST BATO! Kitakits! ***** For reference: Jaime Paglinawan BAYAN Central Visayas Chairperson 09617412972

Pagpupugay sa mga Artista ng Bayan! Concerned Artists of the Philippines – Cebu Chapter proudly congratulates our members who launched new exhibitions yesterday, May 9, 2026, here in Cebu City. Drizzle, CM Arquio, and Sahn Vicente are part of Organic Encounters, a group show now open at Gallerie Raphael, Ayala Center Cebu. Pikoy mounted his 5th solo exhibition, Sawom, at Bintana Coffee House. In a time of worsening climate crisis, rising prices, hunger wages, and state repression of dissent, these artists choose to create. They remind us that art is not escape. It is engagement. Organic Encounters and Sawom confront our relationship with the environment through memory, nostalgia, trauma, and labor. They trace the individual and collective journey toward inner and social peace. These are urgent reflections when calamity after calamity displaces families, fractures communities, and weighs heavily on our mental health. The semifeudal and semi-colonial condition of the Philippines means our soil, our labor, and our culture are extracted daily. But as these exhibits show: what is discarded can be mended. What is divided can be stitched into a collective surface. We invite everyone to visit the shows, witness the works, and reflect. Let art sharpen our grasp of the crisis and strengthen our resolve to act. Because peace is not the absence of noise. Peace is justice for workers, for farmers, for the environment, and for all who are made to survive instead of live.

Concerned Artists of the Philippines – Cebu Chapter condemns the PNP’s detention of peaceful climate activists, including members of Greenpeace Southeast Asia and a fellow cultural worker from CAP Cebu, on the opening day of the 48th ASEAN Summit here in Cebu. This is not “peace and order.” This is state repression. They were peacefully demanding that ASEAN leaders end the plastic crisis and break the region’s fossil fuel dependence. The GRP and PNP would rather jail artists and activists than jail the corporate polluters choking our communities with single-use plastics, landfill collapses, toxic fires, and poisoned air. The real danger is not the peaceful protest. It is the system that protects profit while the poor pay with their health, livelihoods, and lives. The government’s desperation to project “industrial peace” cannot hide the violence of hunger wages, contractualization, and death through environmental collapse. CAP Cebu demands: Immediate release of all detained Greenpeace SEA activists and the CAP Cebu member Hands off artists and climate defenders Dissent is not a crime! Hold corporate polluters accountable Not the communities they harm! We call on all cultural workers to show solidarity and expose this repression. As of this writing, the activists remain at Lapu- Police Station 2 and have not been permitted to leave. Photos grabbed from Greenpeace Ph and Freeman

AYO! ✶ NAA BA’Y MGA ZINESTERS & ZINETHUSIASTS DIRI? 👀📚🖨️ We are calling for zines, prints, komiks, photo essays, poetry, manifestos, collages, and all forms of alternative publishing that interrogate “𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙨” — the processes of becoming and unbecoming. ✨𝗠𝗔𝗔𝗬𝗢-𝗔𝗬𝗢 ✨ A mini zine gathering that asks: What does it mean to be human? In a time of war, genocide, displacement, exhaustion, and fragmentation, coherence becomes harder to hold onto. Violence continues to strip people of dignity, memory, labor, and life. Amid all these, how do we still make sense of our humanity? How do we care, resist, mourn, create, and imagine otherwise? Bring your zines, prints, experiments, unfinished thoughts, strange feelings, collective dreams, and impossible futures. This space welcomes works that are personal, political, intimate, messy, hopeful, grieving, angry, tender — or all at once. 📍 Misfits Coffee — @misfitscoffeeph Tojong Street, Cebu City 📅 May 23, 2026 ⏰ 1PM onwards 🔗 /MAAYOAYO26 ✶ 𝗠𝗔𝗔𝗬𝗢-𝗔𝗬𝗢 is FREE and open to everyone! If you’re interested in participating, tabling, or joining the gathering, sign up through the forms. 💌 Walk-ins and ambush visitors are also welcome — feel free to drop by, tambay, exchange works, and experience the gathering with us. ✶ Come meet fellow zinesters for an afternoon of conversations, solidarity, and alternative publishing. 🖨️ MAAYO-AYO — an amalgamation of: • Mayo (in celebration of Mayo Uno or International Workers Day) • Maayo (good / healing) • Ayo (a knock, a call) • Ayo-ayo (a gesture of farewell and well-wishing) • Maayo-ayo (good-good; becoming okay, slowly) #MaayoAyo #CallforZines #Misfits #CebuCity
