COMELEC En Banc Resolution on Marcos disqualification: “Double murder and a sheer disrespect to all the victims of Martial Law”—CPDG

On World Press Freedom Day: “Reclaim our right to express and our free spaces”—CPDG
“Duterte, like the dictator Ferdinand Marcos, repressed the media and ordered the closure of the broadcast network ABS–CBN. Media outfits, news organizations, and journalists have been red-tagged or accused of being communist sympathizers, and journalists, including Lady Salem and Maria Ressa, have been arrested and incarcerated, yet freed afterwards. This only means that speaking the truth should not be criminalized and journalists should not be harassed,” Liza Maza, CPDG spokesperson, said.
Para sa sahod, trabaho, at karapatan sa paggawa: “piliin ang maka-manggagawang kandidato sa Mayo 9”—CPDG
Ang kahalagahan ng nakabubuhay, disente, at sustinableng empleyo o trabaho sang-ayon sa Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8) ay malalim sapagkat kaugnay nito ang iba pang isyung pang-ekonomiya na dinaranas ng mamamayan. Pangunahin dito ang kahirapan at kagutuman. Ang kawalan ng maayos na hanapbuhay, at kawalan ng kasiguruhan sa trabaho ay hindi lamang pipigil sa pagkamit ng mga target ng SDG 8, kundi pati na rin sa SDG 1 (Pagsugpo sa kahirapan) at SDG 2 (pagsugpo sa kagutuman).

CPDG to candidates on World Health Day 2022: “Push for a people-centered and planet-friendly public health system”
“We have seen, felt, and experienced how government neglect of people’s rights worsened the situation that we’re in.
