Keep firmly the light in this time of darkness

Keep firmly the light in this time of darkness

 

A message for all hallows, all saints, and all souls 

Warm greetings. 

As a nation, these significant holidays serve as a reminder that "life is short" and that we must spend it wisely in these rapidly changing times. 

As with the lives of loved ones who have passed, the lives of saints and martyrs serve as examples of how to live principledly as time passes. For as this centuries-old tradition of honouring loved ones with all of their virtuous lives, with all of the cherished memories, this note should say that this is more than just pray or reflect, but to continue to carry the light—that of their contribution to life, family, and community.

There will undoubtedly be those who say "move on," especially after tragic events such as the pandemic, "drug war," or any other conflict that has left thousands of innocents and those who have died for their principles. But reality forces the people to accept the fight and fight on in order to move forward with the lessons learned from such tragic events and inconvenient truths. The lessons this nation learns, no matter how difficult they are, reinforce its own foundations as it struggles to keep up with the times, forging what more to compel in living with genuine love and compassion. 

And like the candles being lit in thy graves, let the concerned continue to firmly carry on the light that is, to shatter darkness.

“All after 100 days of foolishness, fear, and suffering”

“All after 100 days of foolishness, fear, and suffering”

By Kat Ulrike

Ever since Ferdinand Marcos Jr. came to power, the thermidor under the past Duterte administration has made its way into a Marcosian restoration. Supported by entrenched interests and apologists yearning to restore the old order, the current regime is becoming more than just securing their ill-gotten wealth and perpetuate their political dynasty, but to keep firm further as those who "invested" in both past and current administrations consolidating further their interests all at the expense of the people.

However, as long as these entrenched interests continue to benefit from the regime, the country's situation deteriorates. Marcos jr's policies and plans, like Duterte's, are merely rehashes of previous policies and plans, particularly in terms of economic policy- that, contrary to their promises, the Filipino people saw no improvement in their living conditions during the first 100 days, instead seeing issues within the cabinet, of growing mistrust within the "Uniteam" tandem, while the folk face additional economic challenges as they struggle to earn enough money to put food on their tables on a daily basis. 

For the past few months, Marcos has done virtually nothing to address the public's widespread desire for lower prices on basic commodities and services, particularly oil, food, and medicine. With phrases like "inflation is not that high," it downplays data from its own statistics agency showing that inflation rose to 6.1% in June. Three months later, inflation has risen to 6.9%, driven by high import oil prices, resulting in a rapid decline in people's living standards. Such blatant disregard for the people's economic plight in the face of rising prices, low wages, widespread unemployment, and a lack of public services contradicts the regime's promise of betterment, as Marcos, his policymakers, and minions in Congress have ignored calls for immediate economic assistance, wage increases, and price-cutting measures. Such blatant disregard for the people's economic plight in the face of rising prices, low wages, widespread unemployment, and a lack of public services contradicts the regime's promise of betterment, as Marcos, his policymakers, and minions in Congress have ignored calls for immediate economic assistance, wage increases, and price-cutting measures. They have reduced social spending in favour of huge foreign-funded infrastructure projects that enrich interests mainly foreign contractors, their local partners, and corrupt big bureaucrats. 

Furthermore, the regime maintained the neoliberal agenda through the implementation of the Retail Trade Liberalization Act, the Public Service Act, and modifications to the Foreign Investments Act. Again, contrary to the rhetoric of national regeneration, the legislation enacted by the previous Duterte administration in response to demands from the US government and businessmen further reinforce imperialist economic dominance in the country. And while Filipinos are constantly fleeced by hefty taxes and workplace repression, Marcos intends to reward foreign firms with tax cuts and fewer rules for taking use of the country's cheap labour and natural resources. Authorities insist that the laws are all intended to bring recovery after the pandemic crisis, while ignoring the consequences, which include high commodity and service prices, higher taxes, and fewer regulations in workplaces and the environment—all for the whims of entrenched local and foreign interests.

His supporters as well as that of the past administration will cling to their support as they belittle any accurate data including that from the government; insisting the “efforts” of the administration as enough to suffice the problem even tho it isn’t. The so-called efforts to suffice the problem using neoliberalism rather aggravates as most countries, especially that of the United States resorted to pandemic-induced trade protectionism. The lack of strong industrial base, the failure to pursue genuine agrarian reform, and a deficient social policy especially in health services outweighs the promises of industrialisation, of improving labor standards including that of health workers in need of better pay and working conditions. Meanwhile, countries like the United States, are trying to protect their jobs and businesses as the pandemic-induced recession disrupted the entire neoliberal-globalist order and its trade routes. Thus, in the face of a continuing slowdown in global capitalist centres and rising recessionary threats, the economic plan brought by Marcos jr., like those of his predecessors will only push the country deeper into economic crisis, deepening its backward, agrarian, and non-industrial state, depending on dollar remittances and concessions to “stay afloat” amidst crisis. 

Speaking of concessions, the current regime continues to kowtow to both American and Chinese interests while pretending to be non-aligned like his predecessor. “A friend to all and an enemy to none” as being claimed of, as the administration continues to remain subservient in every agreement verbatim while claiming to be “patriotic”. That before the United Nations, Marcos made no demand that China respect the International Arbitral Tribunal's July 2016 ruling in favour of the country's territorial claims under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), while on the other hand, he recently granted permission for over 2,550 American soldiers to use the country and armed forces for US war exercises, which are aimed at increasing military tensions in the West Philippine Sea. Putting the country in grave danger of getting caught between the United States and China.  

For the order, it makes no difference whether the visit to Singapore and its grand prix, of turning a state visit to a family affair like in New York, or Sara Duterte's message in Mandarin and the use of presidential helicopter for “personal use”, are altogether controversial, because the reactions to the first 100 days demonstrated the country's political polarisation. Those who praised Marcos and Duterte are associated with them, while those who criticised the regime are associated with the opposition, think tanks, and credible analysts. Of course, the former will fanatically defend their idol as they assert words like “unity” to that of trolling the opposition; but the latter, having facts as basis to oppose the moves of the order would say that in the face of worsening sufferings and state neglect, the Filipino people have no choice but to speak up and assert and defend their rights and welfare. All this, despite the brutal "war on drugs" that continues unabated in the name of "peace and order" and against the poor, to red-tagging and harassment of concerned individuals and groups, as attacks on press freedom and people's freedom of expression continue unabated- with the police and military continuing to blur the distinction between civilians and armed combatants in violation of international humanitarian law. 

It’s easy to discern whose comments make sense. As people increasingly seeking truth from facts it becomes a problem for the order as the people themselves know the truth that is, contrary to their narrative. 

“When cracks of discontent starting to appear.”

“When cracks of discontent starting to appear.”

(On the recent changes in the Marcos cabinet)

It seems that in less than a hundred days that the Second Marcos administration isn’t even complete yet but showing off its cracks. 

With news like Calida resigned from the Commission on Audit, Vic Rodriguez as “no longer part of the administration”, to that of Trixie Cruz-Angeles resigned as press secretary, these and others would say that the regime is having problems within the ranks- if not a possible infighting between Marcos and Duterte factions. 

So much for the “unity” that’s been bannered throughout the time. Of course, there are legit reasons such as Calida for his health problems, if not Cruz-Angeles for being a suspended lawyer and therefore unlikely to be part of the cabinet according to rumors. And Dominguez? “We do not talk about it” said Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, justifying there’s no such order such as a “presidential chief of staff” exists and therefore Dominguez as no longer part of the administration. 

On the other hand, unpopular figures were reappointed such as Erwin Tulfo as Social Welfare secretary. Even the neoliberal Diokno is also reappointed as Finance secretary too. And Vice President Sara Duterte? She remained concurrently as Education secretary despite issues of confidential and intelligence funds within the department (and susceptible to corruption) still fresh in everyone’s minds. 

For the apologist, they would still cling to their narrative that these people were performing well despite the fact that they’re defending a soiled regime. But, if one may ask, where’s the unity the regime is claiming about as cracks been shown out and therefore making people concerned as ever? In fact, Other than changes in the cabinet, issues like ex-government official Lorraine Badoy Partosa continues to be a talk of the town after the courts asserts the rule of law versus the hysteria brought by the past administration’s excesses. According to a press briefer, the Supreme Court ordered the former member of the NTFELCAC to show cause and must respond on her statement in social media towards Judge Marlo Magdoza-Malagar. And that includes “implying her message as protected constitutional speech.” Furthermore, authorities disowned Badoy to save the administration’s face, for in a statement she’s “not even a consultant” from the Office of the President (OP) nor the anti-insurgency task force; isn’t it that ridiculous despite apologists changing the narrative by redescribing her as a private citizen doing her counterinsurgency propaganda? After all, they’re actively defending her “view” as they’re calling the courts “infiltrated by the enemies of the state” and justifying her work as part of the “government’s efforts in winning the propaganda war” even it means making shit towards the opposition, the concerned citizen, and even the courts who for these apologists thinking they’re standing against their way. 

But, come to think of it, while apologists were bannering their anticommunist hysteria with all of its excesses, this hysteria did a lot of damage on themselves rather than their targets—for using the "communist" bogeyman as an alibi, the administration targeted those who stood in their way—including a concerned citizen who had enough of rising vegetable prices and promises of a 20 per kilo of rice. For sure everyone remembers how these red taggers also harassed those performing acts of solidarity like the community pantry movement, to that of demanding subsidies for the needy during the pandemic; and come to think that within the administration, there are those having enough of rotten eggs among them, such as Bersamin, who is a loyalist shooing off Cruz-Angeles, who is a Duterte supporter, or Clarita Carlos, who has had enough of red taggers like Badoy. 

However, will those who supported the previous administration and those loyal to the Marcoses remain silent on this? Some did express dismay as cracks of discontent emerging in that goddamned “unity” with all the successive resignations and controversies trying to be well-buried with alibis and “achievements”; of course they cannot express it throughout especially when facing towards the opposition!

“From his sacrifice validates the message”

“From his sacrifice validates the message” 

This note condemns the killing of broadcaster Percy Mabasa aka “Percy Lapid” of “Lapid fire” in Las Piñas recently. 

This killing shows that journalism, or seeking truth from facts, remains a dangerous profession in the country- and despite claims of having free press thriving under the current Marcos regime this incident indicates how authorities failed to protect those who seek truth or voicing out opinions from harm; what more to see its ringleaders continuing to run. 

Lapid, host of “Lapid fire” in DWB,1242, had been critical of the Aquino, Duterte, as well as the current Marcos administration, as well as its policies and personalities involved. And among his commentaries in his YouTube channel was on the dangers of red tagging and historical revisionism that’s thriving under the current regime.

This note strongly condemn this deplorable crime; for it was done not just against the messenger but also to the country and to the truth in which he’s seeking and upheld for. And in his death this validates the message that the order is scared of the reality how corrupt and oppressive is as in the past; that the culture if impunity is still flourishing no matter how they’re trying to downplay such inconvenient truths seen by many even up to the present. 

And wouldn’t be surprised that the current administration, or its apologists would link to the killing of a radio commentator to that of the growing people’s concern over the government and its policies. Of course these people, in seriously defending the regime would respond by claiming “no proof” and “only wild speculations” that “serve as fodder” to the “recycled narrative that ‘the government did it’”, if not blaming the opposition for actively dissenting against the regime. 

But from his death, as well as others who died for their profession would say that seeking truth from facts will continue to prevail even in this tumultuous times. That liberating ideas should thrive no matter foes trying to stop in this supposed democratic façade. 

And therefore must not let his murder go unresolved or its perpetrators be brought to justice.

So much for her bullshitry! (Only to have shit thrown back at it!)

So much for her bullshitry! 

(Only to have shit thrown back at it!)

Notes on the recent action of Lorraine Badoy-Partosa 

and how lawyers, academics, and concerned folks ganged up together against her hyseria

This note condemns a former government official and her threats against Judge Marlo Magdoza-Malagar and her husband, Atty. Chancellor of the University of the Philippines-Cebu, Leo Malagar. 

Because Lorraine Badoy-Partosa made the claim a few days ago on social media that political beliefs were to blame for the murder of a judge and the bombing of courthouses. The DOJ's petition was dismissed on September 21 by Magdoza-Malagar, presiding judge of Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 19, in a court judgment that the influencer disagrees with. Malagar contrasted between "terrorism" and "rebellion" in rejecting the DOJ's argument, pointing out that terrorism has a wider reach than revolt and that rebellion is merely one method of terrorism. Malagar distinguished between "rebellion" and "terrorism" in rejecting the DOJ's plea, pointing out that terrorism is broader in scope than rebellion, with rebellion being only one of the various means by which terrorism can be committed. 

For the apologist, Badoy's and her colleagues in the NTFELCAC "were about to cut the head of the serpent," as they've claimed, only to find themselves affecting the concerned, much less the innocent, all in the name of "anti-subversion" and "anti-terrorism." That their comments, whether justified as free speech whether posted on social media or spoken in a television program, rather degenerated into absurdity, especially in connecting certain people (including judge Magdoza-Malagar) to the communist party and therefore “face the consequences”. 

With words such as “So if I kill this judge and I do so out of my political belief that all allies of the CPP-NPA-NDF must be killed because there is no difference in my mind between a member of the CPP-NPA-NDF and their friends, then please be lenient with me,” the former government official posted a hypothetical question that is willing to do so in the name of her “anti-communist cause.” 

And this kind of question did occur in countries such as Latin America during the 1980s. Those who advocated for human rights, the rule of law, and even expressed concern were killed in the name of counterinsurgency, or anti-terrorism in today's parlance. Even clergymen like Bishop Romero was killed by the military just because he spoke against state terror! Will Badoy's words remain hypothetical in light of this example? This doesn't matter to the apologist; in fact, it justifies what amounts to an open public threat against a lawful official, what more a member of the bar. 

Furthermore, according to the statement from the “Free Legal Assistance Group”, that “Badoy's threat is not protected speech-it is a felony. Her red-tagging of the spouses Malagar violate their rights under international law and Philippine law. Her irresponsible posts against them and others clearly indicate that she will continue to act with impunity unless she is held accountable.”

Even the University of the Philippines College of Law condemn the threats and should not be allowed to remain unaddressed as red tagging violates the basic principles on the role of lawyers. “Both undermine the rule of law a s represent the continuing impunity which is key to the modus operandi of Ms. Badoy and her ilk.” According to the statement.

Thus, in this light, this note again deplores such action by Badoy et al. as reeks of hysteria, as it vilifies and endangers those who administers justice if not seeking truth from facts. By claiming to be defending “democracy” and “freedom” under this current order this turned out to be willing to set aside due process, rule of law for their distorted concept of order reminiscent of oplans “Tokhang” and “Double Barrel” of the past regime- and this may repeat again by claiming this as a necessary evil.

At present, the former government official may’ve “obeyed” the order brought from the courts as it sternly warns those who continue to incite violence which endangers the lives of judges and their families" shall “likewise be considered a contempt” of the tribunal and “will be dealt with accordingly.” 

But, does it mean she and her ilk will stop and give way to the decision? Or will still babble as if nothing happened? 

“So much for a Nation’s ‘Continuing Past’ while people fighting for a Future to win”

“So much for a Nation’s ‘Continuing Past’ 

while people fighting for a Future to win”

(Or “Thoughts after Bongbong Marcos’s visit to the United States 

While supporters still yearning for 20 per kilo of rice”)

It’s been few months since the second Marcos regime had started. Described as a thermidor or even a restoration (sorry France), this regime, despite opportunities to appear “anew” chose to continue that of its predecessor- albeit trying to be ‘lite’ and yet carrying the same baggage of controversies that lingers even today. 

This may sound strange- for as the 31 million voters still swayed by the promise of restoring that “glorious past” to that of a 20 peso per kilo of rice, this regime chose to remain as that of its predecessors: feudal-neocolonial in foundation and neoliberal in it’s perspective.

How come? As remnants of the landed gentry remains significant both political and economic, catering the interests of international capital particularly its overlords from Beijing and Wall St., and recent newly-passed laws further consolidate interests particularly that of claiming to be “for economic recovery”; that in turn means higher taxes and repressed working conditions for the working masses while tax cuts and perks for the privileged few. 

And yet these 31 million voters still yearning for a 20 per kilo of rice. Teachers were even promised salary increase from that once-standard bearer claiming to be for ‘unity’ and yet these rather fell on deaf ears if not hearing VP Duterte as Education Secretary telling that “raising teacher’s salaries in public schools puts pressure on private schools”, so why on earth have to promise what they perceive as impossible? Is it to snare people for votes? So much for the bullshitry especially after the Education and Agriculture departments having confidential and intelligence funds (150 million for DepED, 4.5 billion for DA)- claiming national security for a reason. 

So much for the continuing past especially with Marcos along with Duterte restored to power. By claiming the need to restore order and greatness it is all but continuity of repression and corruption as everyone faced and felt. Profiteers continue to profit to and fro silently while its propagandists blaming the opposition for all the woes yet failing to look at their backyard! Apologists would still cling to their narrative, and yet failed to win hearts and minds of concerned folks who just wanted freedom, peace, land, bread, and justice.

***

Speaking of Wall St., Recently, president Bongbong visited the United States in an attempt to curry favour with the Biden regime for investments and businesses to set up shop in the country. 

Like a vassal to its lord, he affirmed the country’s subservience called “friendship”, a step back from Duterte’s pretending aggressiveness towards that country. This affirmation would include maintaining existing “unequal” agreements, from economic to military. 

However, from that same visit includes drawbacks- protests demanding accountability for the regime’s antipeople policies and actions, and the few presence of the members of the United Nations during his address in its general assembly showed disapproval despite apologists’ belittling. 

In that case people knows that the regime will always be riddled with corruption, repression, or injustice. In fact, the Marcoses still face a US$353 million contempt judgement against him in a US court, arising from the ill-gotten wealth amassed during the reign of Marcos sr.., and to think that president Bongbong enjoys his “diplomatic immunity” this doesn’t escape people’s demand for accountability especially when liabilities arising from that case and its decision. 

But obviously Marcos jr. and his apologists will still deny the accusations brought against his family and the 21-year regime of his father that committed gross human rights violations and large-scale plunder; while insisting that same reign as a ‘golden age’ that’s whitewashed of its horrible truths.  

***

As the concerned saw everything as but continuity of the past, attempts to dispel truth became part of the order’s agenda- and this becomes more than just “fear mongering” but also churning falsehoods and distortions all meant to ‘rally’ people into their banner- that video streaming sites, social media, are heavily “invested” by the administration and its apologists whether to whitewash the atrocities of the regime to that of putting the blame, shame into the opposition for all the woes and yet they themselves apologists failed to address the basic problems that pushes people to revolt against the very order they’re defending. 

In an instance, these apologists blame the Cojuangco/Aquino family for the tragic events such as “Mendiola” and “Hacienda Luisita” massacres, and yet they failed to assert agrarian reform to uplift the lives of the landless peasants nor implicate former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (currently an ally of the regime) for tacitly supporting the armed forces and the police to disperse violently the struggling peasants in Hacienda Luisita, what more to persecute them as insurgents. 

Even the dispute in the west Philippine sea these apologists blame the Aquino administration for failing to defend Scarborough and Spratlys against the Chinese, all despite the damage brought by the Americans in the Tubbataha reef. And yet they’re mum on Duterte’s, what more of Marcos’s overtures with the Chinese! 

The Pork Barrel Scam last 2016 doesn’t even limit to that of then-administration party and its allies but also that of personalities like Juan Ponce Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada, and Ramon Revilla jr. who altogether end supporting the Marcoses! Even Marcos jr. himself then a senator did gain from that scam worth 10 million pesos!  Will these apologists who claiming to “side with the truth” able to criticise their masters? Not even. 

Such bullshitries would say that the current regime, as in the past rather disregard defending national sovereignty or realising the aspirations of many in favour of upholding interests of the privileged few even it includes concessions with Beijing and Wall St. while oppressing its own people. From these would say people still wanted a future to win than forcing to content in its ever-continuing past. Every walk of life somehow felt the wonders of today’s setting as the glass-clad skyscrapers of Makati but to think that decades, if not centuries-old problems remain, what more of seeing the order upholding it, would make one think or say that the country is still in it’s continuing past- and it is the task of the folk to take back the future that’s envisioned by its forefathers.

The Altona Refinery: A Testament to Australia's Industrial Heritage and Progress

 The Altona Refinery: A Testament to Australia's Industrial Heritage and Progress

In the annals of Australia’s industrial history, few structures rival the significance of the Altona Refinery, established in 1949. This facility emerged as a pivotal institution during a transformative period, exemplifying the spirit of progress that characterized the post-war era.

As ExxonMobil announced its closure and the transition to a fuel import terminal in February 2021, the need to preserve the Altona Refinery as an esteemed emblem of industrial heritage has become increasingly urgent.

A Historical Chronicle of Progress

The Altona Refinery stands as a proud monument to a time when Australia sought to bolster its energy independence and economic resilience. Established amidst a growing demand for domestic petroleum, the refinery marked a significant stride toward reducing reliance on foreign oil imports. Its closure in 2021 raises critical concerns not only about local employment but also about the wider implications for downstream manufacturers in the region.

Tim Watts, an MP of the opposition Labor Party, has expressed alarm over potential job losses in chemical manufacturing resulting from the refinery's shutdown. “How many jobs will be lost now in chemical manufacturing?” he asked, highlighting the interconnected nature of industries that rely on the refinery (Watts, 2021). Such sentiments echo the need to preserve the facility, which has long been a cornerstone of economic stability in Altona and beyond.

Architectural Significance

From an architectural standpoint, the Altona Refinery is a striking example of mid-20th-century industrial design. Its expansive layout, featuring formidable processing units and vast storage tanks, exemplifies the principles of functionality and efficiency that define industrial architecture. The refinery's structures resonate with profound purpose, demonstrating the engineering ingenuity that facilitated the refining of crude oil into essential products.

As the decommissioning of refinery infrastructure began in 2022, with most operational processes closed, the potential loss of this architectural and technological landmark looms large. Preserving these structures offers future generations the opportunity to engage with the material culture of industrialization, fostering an understanding of the scientific principles and labor practices that shaped Australia’s modern economy.

Economic Contributions

The economic ramifications of the Altona Refinery are manifold. Long a vital contributor to the local economy, it has generated employment opportunities and supported ancillary industries, including the local chemical sector. The closure of the refinery not only signifies the potential loss of jobs but threatens the entire ecosystem of downstream manufacturers that rely on its operations. Steve Bell, CEO of plastics maker Qenos, articulated these concerns, stating that the implications of the shutdown extend beyond immediate job losses to the future of energy-intensive, value-adding manufacturing in Australia (Bell, 2021).

As Australia grapples with the challenges of energy production and environmental sustainability, the refinery serves as a symbol of the evolution of the energy sector. Preserving the refinery could safeguard not just a physical structure but also the jobs and economic stability it represents, as well as reflects the complexities of balancing economic growth with ecological responsibility. Innes Willox, CEO of the national employer association Ai Group, emphasizes that “a range of petrochemicals are critical inputs for many other businesses” (Willox, 2021). The importance of maintaining access to such resources cannot be overstated.

Cultural Heritage

Culturally, the Altona Refinery holds a cherished place in the hearts and minds of the local populace. It is interwoven with the identity of the Altona community, representing not merely an industrial facility but a source of pride and shared history. The stories of the men and women who labored within its confines are tales of sacrifice, dedication, and collective effort. Preserving the refinery serves to honor these narratives, ensuring that they are not lost to the passage of time.

In an age marked by rapid change and technological advancement, the preservation of such heritage sites is imperative. As the site transitions to a fuel import terminal, preserving its legacy becomes even more vital. From every structure to the narrative of its workers this provide continuity and connection to the past, reminding society of the foundations upon which modern life stands. This transformation presents an opportunity to engage the community in discussions about the future of energy and industry in Australia, emphasizing the lessons learned from the refinery’s storied past. Hence, the Altona Refinery, as a repository of collective memory, deserves safeguarding for future generations, inviting them to reflect on the journey of industrialization and its profound impact on contemporary life.

Conclusion

In summation, the Altona Refinery is more than a mere industrial facility; it is a testament to the progress, resilience, and ingenuity of a nation in transformation. Its preservation is not only a matter of historical and architectural significance but also an essential step toward honoring the economic and cultural heritage of the Altona community. As stewards of industrial legacy, the call to protect and celebrate the Altona Refinery resonates strongly, ensuring that its story continues to inspire and educate future generations. In doing so, society reaffirms its commitment to recognizing the invaluable contributions of the industrial past and their relevance to the present and future. The time to act is now, for the refinery’s legacy must not be allowed to fade away.
