🕯️🤍On May 3, community members gathered to honor Lyle, the Negros 19, and Ivan — Lyle’s friend and kasama. The vigil was held in a plaza where Lyle’s mom would take him to buy books growing up and where he often took his niece to watch movies. Friends, family, and community shared our grief for his passing along with our determination to carry on Lyle’s spirit and to continue his work to serve the people!
Join us to call for transparent and thorough investigation of the Negros Occidental military encounter. We must continue to uplift the true character of Lyle and the Negros 19!
Hustisya para kay Lyle!

One of the audio recordings played remains just as relevant today, by Hanoi Hannah, as in 1967: G.I., your government has abandoned you. They have ordered you to die. They lied to you. You know you cannot win this war.
Isn't it clear that the war makers are gambling with your lives, while pocketing huge profits?

Today Americans still demand:
Money for human needs here at home, not endless violence abroad!
Health Care, Not Warfare!
Diplomacy, human rights, for all!
ICE out of our cities, neighborhoods, SD downtown courthouse, and schools!
FOR RELEASE FEBRUARY 2026, Malaya Movement is releasing a petition to demand action and accountability of the Philippine government. These demands are the result of months in waging our Labanan ang Pasismo campaign in the Southern California region after the disgraceful flood control corruption scandals of Summer 2025.
We will never forget how BILLIONS of pesos were stolen from the Filipino people by corrupt bureacrats who continue to use their positions to enrich themselves in luxury while the people drowned and suffered displacement. We are especially enraged that here in Los Angeles, Consulate Labor Attaché Macy Maglanque herself was called back to the Philippines for her family's implication in the corruption scandals. @phlinla
We call on the Filipino people to unite and demand justice! Maglanque should NOT return to post. She should be denied any and all government positions due to clear conflict of interest with her and her family’s businessess. We also demand transparency from the PH government to release financial reports detailing where ATN and AKSYON funds are being spent. For years, distressed migrant kababayan have received meager amounts of aid calling into question where these funds actually go-- to the pockets of the people, or to more corrupt officials like Macy Maglanque?
To learn more about the petition and join us in delivering our demands to the Philippine Consulate, come to our upcoming People Power Anniversary activities! As we did before, let us unite and rise up to remove those in power who do not serve us, and fight for a pro-people, genuinely democratic Philippines where the Filipino people are justly served.

This week, we celebrate the release of Chantal Anicoche, which would not have been possible without the long month of organizing across the country to demand her freedom.
While we are relieved that she is now home, we also remain wary of the disclosures and statements made by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). The AFP have already contradicted themselves on different basic facts of the situation, including the date of Chantal’s detention.
We have heard the experiences of others held in detention and under duress, like Jonila Castro and Jhed Tamano, who were subjected to psychological torture as a means of coercion into making false statements and signing different affidavits.
We are aware that these counterinsurgency tactics of the AFP and Philippine government are not new and are a part of the government’s longstanding and brutal suppression of indigenous communities amidst corporate land grabbing and harsh working conditions.
We are seeing firsthand here in the United States with the cases of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Don Lemon, Wael and Maher Tarabishi, and many others, how those in power seek to distort the facts around activists, journalists, and the people suffering most under different human rights violations, all in order to justify state violence being enacted against them.
Chantal’s surfacing and release was a victory won by the thousands across the world that came together to support her, but we must continue to fight against the misinformation, red-tagging, and human rights violations from the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the NTF-ELCAC, and all of those who seek to abuse their power.
#TheFightContinues #DefendMindoro #DefendPeoplesOrganizations
Malaya San Diego joins other chapters, allied organizations championing human rights, and concerned youth, friends, and family across the country in refuting the lies of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) around their violence against peasant farmers and rejecting their twisting of genuine concern from bright and caring youth into a fable of grooming and terrorism. The AFP has a proven track record of harassment and abuses against farmers and peasant leaders advocating for their human and land rights, including the bombing of the indigenous civilian community in Mindoro that resulted in 5 deaths, including 3 Mangyan-Iraya children, and led to the illegal detainment of Chantal Anicoche.
We are being sold a glistening fairy tale by those same people of the benevolent rescue and medical care of Chantal, a story accompanied with doctored images of her smiling and standing with a cute golden retriever. If she was so safe and happy, if she was well enough to appear in these pictures, why have we not heard from her directly? If Chantal is truly free to act and leave of her own free will, then why would she not want to dispel all doubt and reassure the scores of loved ones that have shown their deep worry for her?
The truth is that we know firsthand how the AFP treats its detainees. We know from environmental activist Jonila Castro their use of torture and threats to coerce prisoners into making false statements and signing affidavits propping up the mountain of lies that they hide their cruelty behind.
