JOSE FRANCO CASTILLO
“Only oppression should fear the full exercise of freedom” Jose Marti
As the COVID-19 havocs the country, the Duterte administration kept tangling criticism with rebellion. Silencing critics remained the government’s priority, while the pandemic fell to deaf ears. Along with the growing number of COVID-19 cases is the prevalent practice of illegal arrests nationwide. Not only were the stomachs of millions of jobless Filipinos are left neglected but so is their yowling for a nonmilitarized and pro-people solution with which the Duterte regime is unheard.
