Through these conversations, we are better able to see how the Philippines is affected by the development of Pax Silica (US-led initiative to build AI and semiconductor manufacturing hubs in Luzon, Philippines), the current developments in the anti-corruption movements and the government response to the people’s calls

Save the dates! 📆🫪✊

Join us for our upcoming events to discuss and learn more about the effects of Martial Law in the Philippines, for this September 21st marks the 54-year-anniversary of Ferdinand Marcos regime’s declaration of Martial Law, that ushered a dictatorship plagued with human rights violations, crimes against humanity, corruption and the subservience to foreign imperial powers.

To this day, under Marcos Jr.'s administration, the Philippines continues to suffer under the same systems that put the interests of foreign countries and corrupt politicians first, before the needs of the people. Ever wonder why there's a growing Philippine diaspora? 🤔 The Labour Export Policy (LEP), for example, was systematized during Martial Law, and continues to force Filipinos abroad for work rather than creating sustainable livelihoods back home.

If you're interested in learning more, please don't hesitate to send us a message! Kita kits! 🔥

[Filipino Translation]
Inaanyayahan namin kayo sa aming mga events upang talakayin at higit pang alamin ang mga epekto ng Batas Militar sa Pilipinas. Sa Setyembre 21 ay gugunitain ang ika-54 na anibersaryo ng deklarasyon ng Batas Militar sa ilalim ng rehimen ni Ferdinand Marcos Sr., na nagpasimula ng isang diktadurang puno ng paglabag sa karapatang pantao, korapsyon, at pagpapasakop sa mga dayuhang imperyalista.

Hanggang sa kasalukuyan, sa ilalim ng administrasyon ni Marcos Jr., patuloy na dinaranas ng Pilipinas ang mga sistemang inuuna ang interes ng mga dayuhang bansa at korap na pulitiko kaysa sa pangangailangan ng mamamayang Pilipino. Bakit nga ba lumalaki ang bilang ng mga Pilipinong naninirahan sa ibang bansa? 🤔 Halimbawa nito ang Labor Export Policy (LEP), na inilunsad noong Batas Militar at patuloy na nagtutulak sa mga Pilipino na magtrabaho sa ibang bansa kaysa lumikha ng maayos na mga trabaho at kabuhayan sa sariling bayan.

“Money for education, social services, and healthcare– not for the military!”

Members of Anakbayan Victoria and the Victoria Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines (VicCHRP) strongly condemn the participation of the Philippines in the 2026 Indo-Pacific Conference being hosted in Victoria, British Columbia from August 31 to September 2, 2026.

It is shameful that the Philippine government continues to prioritize cozying up with foreign imperialists by using the Filipino people’s hard-earned money to fly out Filipino military officials when the country is suffering from catastrophic floods.

Additionally, Canada is solidifying its role in the US-led war machine against China, which must be a cause for concern for all peace-loving Canadians.

On July 1st, 2026, members of Anakbayan Victoria mobilized to strongly oppose Marcos Jr's (BBM) visit to Canada.

Throughout BBM's visit, he has sold out the Philippines to Canada through solidifying the Canada-Philippines Free Trade Agreement and military agreements, as well as establishing MOUs that systematize the export of resources and labour out of the Philippines. These agreements further exacerbates the conditions of workers and youth here, as many continue to face precarious conditions.

Anakbayan Victoria denounces this signing between Canada and the Philippines. We will keep fighting and advocating for the liberation and rights of Filipinos back home and in the diaspora! Marcos, mamamatay tao!

What can you do as Filipino youth?

ICYMI!! Co**ie Bop x AB Vic: June 16, 2026

The Co**iebop x Anakbayan Victoria open mic was a succesful night where creatives expressed their solidarity against colonial capitalism through the arts, and where Anakbayan launched our campaign, Filipino Youth Unite Against Facism (FYUAF).

With this campaign, we aim to address the impacts of imperialism on Filipino youth and the working class living in the Philippines and in the diaspora by understanding their conditions and educating, agitating, and mobilizing the masses.

Ultimately, we plan to advocate for the Filipinos struggling globally, and it would not be possible without the support from our community. If you are curious and supportive of our causes and the work of Anakbayan, we continue to hold events to further educate people on ongoing issues in the Philippines and we are happy to accept material support.

Our shared struggles call for collective action!

Makibaka! Huwag matakot!

Hungry for rice? Hungrier for knowledge? 🍚🧠

Rice plays an important role in the daily lives of Filipinos, as they nurture everyone in different ways. Likewise, our peasants, women, and youth nurture the fight for Filipino liberation in their own ways. But to understand why they’re so important, we have to understand their conditions in the Philippines

Tara! We will be holding this ED alongside Anakbayan BC Anakbayan BC where we will be understanding these conditions together as we nourish ourselves. (Yes! There will be food!)
