April 2, 2025
8 PM / Zoom

THIS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2 2025, IS INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S BOOK DAY. AS ISRAEL’S GENOCIDE OF PALESTINIANS CONTINUES, THIRTY CHILDREN WILL DIE ON THAT DAY, ADDING TO THE ALREADY MORE THAN 17,000 PALESTINIAN CHILDREN KILLED SINCE OCTOBER 7 2023.

SINCE OCTOBER 7 2023, THE FRANKFURT BOOK FAIR HAS REPEATEDLY EXPRESSED ITS SOLIDARITY WITH THE GENOCIDAL STATE OF ISRAEL THROUGH CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP, SILENCING OF PALESTINIAN VOICES, AND REFUSAL TO CONDEMN ISRAEL’S CRIMINAL ACTS.
THE PHILIPPINES IS THE GUEST OF HONOR FOR THIS YEAR’S FRANKFURT BOOK FAIR. A BOYCOTT FROM PHILIPPINE PUBLISHERS WOULD SPEAK VOLUMES ON THE SOLIDARITY OF PHILIPPINE AUTHORS WITH THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE.

YOUR COLA IS GIVING SUGAR RUSH OUT OF CONTRACTUALIZATION, EXPLOITATION, AND FORCED HUSH!

Anaa sa 200 ka mamumuong kontraktwal sa Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines ang gaatubang og hulga sa panginabuhian tungod sa tinaktakay karong Pebrero 10 agi sa pagputol sa kontrata tali sa agency nga Exel-Tech ug Coca-Cola. Sa pagputol sa ilang kontrata, gipasulod niini ang agency nga XISCO nga kakunsyabo usab sa mga Aboitiz.

Samtang gihimakakan sa Coca-cola ug Aboitiz ang tinaktakay, giipit sa mapangmig-utong kapitalista ang mga mamumuo nga modawat nalang sa 50% separation pay ug mag-reapply sa XISCO diin mobalik sa pagka probationary kun madawat man gani. Kini moputol sa ilang length of service ug mobungkag sa ilang unyon nga sobra pito ka tuig nang nakigbisog alang sa regularisasyon. Usa pud kini nga lakang aron maikyasan sa Coke ang kaso batok kanila alang sa regularisasyon sa mga mamumuo nga anaa hantod karon sa DOLE secretary.

Uban ako sa panawagan sa Regularisasyon, dili termination! Wala'y unyong buwagon ug wala'y mamumuong daug-daogon! Coca-cola ug Aboitiz, papanubagon! DOLE, act now!

CALL FOR ENTRIES | Artists, let's show our support to fellow creators and nation builders! Stand with Coke workers! You may send us illustrations or any art form exposing and opposing Coca-Cola's anti worker maneuvers for profit.
