“Dahil sa ingay, polusyon, at malalakas na pagyanig, epektibong naitataboy ng mga dredging vessel ang karaniwang isdang nahuhuli sa dagat at bunganga ng Abra River,” Fernando Hicap, Pamalakaya national chairperson said. “Nagresulta ito ng malubhang pagbagsak ng kinikita ng mga maliliit na mangingisda.”

Altermidya Network stands in full support of our network member Southern Tagalog Exposure. We demand the PNP to stop weaponizing “fake news” accusations to suppress critical reporting and community voices. The people's right to truthful information and the journalists' duty to expose injustice are fundamental and absolute. It is inseparable from the people’s right to speak out, to bear witness, and to expose injustice without fear or favor.

Statement | Truth prevails, the Abra de Ilog Philippine National Police (PNP) will never fool the people

The Abra de Ilog Philippine National Police (PNP) recent post on mass reporting the social media pages of Southern Tagalog Exposure and Peoples Rising for Climate Justice is a clear attempt to censor the truth in the struggle of the Mangyan-Iraya for their land and rights in Sitio Malatabako, Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro.

It is only evident through this desperate act of the PNP that they are the one causing distress and terror in the community. In Southern Tagalog Exposure's coverage in Sitio Malatabako, the PNP themselves are the ones who are torturing, illegally arresting, and working hand-in-hand with the private goons of the Pieceland Corporation. The photos clearly show that state forces are fully armed with guns, sowing fear in the communities.

During the Learning and Solidarity Mission these past days, the community and delegates continue to experience various forms of harassment and intimidation at the hands of the PNP and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). We have reported instances in which surveillance drones and unidentified men were seen following community members and delegates. The distress that state forces are causing only instill fear to the community in holding these kinds of activities.

In the face of these violent acts, the Mangyan-Iraya community continues to persevere to fight for their land and rights. The community also filed complaints in the Commission on Human Rights regarding the harassment they faced from the Abra de Ilog PNP and goons of the Pieceland Corporation.

These experiences by the community only prove that what our newsroom covers is not mere 'fake news'. Rather, as an alternative media outfit, we are working to expose the harsh realities that the corrupt system continues to perpetuate on marginalized communities.

Southern Tagalog Exposure vehemently condemns these attacks from the Abra de Ilog PNP and their attempts to censor the truth. We also call on the wider community of journalists and alternative press workers to fight against the state-sanctioned attacks on press freedom. In the face of this outright harassment, our newsroom firmly asserts that there will be justice in truth and the voices of the people will prevail.

'PRESYO NG PALAY ITAAS, PRESYO NG BIGAS IBABA!'
‎
‎Ngayong ika-15 ng Oktubre, International Day of Rural Women, nagtipon-tipon sa harap ng Department of Agriculture ang mga kababaihang magsasaka at kanilang mga tagasuporta para kalampagin ang ahensya sa kawalan ng suporta sa mga magsasaka.

Dinadaing ng mga magbubukid ang pagkalugi nila dahil sa baba ng presyo ng palay at dagdag pang pahirap na napakamahal naman ng presyo ng bigas at iba pang mga bilihin.

'KATIYAKAN SA PANINIRAHAN, IPAGLABAN'

Lumabas sa kani-kanilang mga tiarahan ang mga residente ng Agora Compound sa Brgy. Sto Niño, Marikina City ngayong gabi ng Oktubre 14 para tutulan ang tangkang demolisyon sa kanilang mga kabahayan.

Nagtayo ng kampuhan ang mga residente sa kahabaan ng Gil Fernando Avenue, kilalang 'food strip' sa Marikina City, para bantayan ang kanilang mga bahay laban sa planong demolisyon sa kanilang komunidad bukas, Oktubre 15 ng umaga.

Ayon sa Marikina chapter ng Gabriela Women's Party, walang relocation site na inaalok ang city government ng Marikina sa mga apektadong residente.

Kinundena rin ng mga residente at ni Mimi Doringo ng KADAMAY ang korapsyon ng pamahalaan bilang sanhi sa kakulangan sa serbisyong pabahay sa bansa.

"Mahirap man tayo, pero marangal tayong nagtatrabaho para may makain ang ating mga pamilya. Hindi tulad ng mga kurakot sa gobyerno na nagpapakasarap lang sa buhay gamit ang ating buwis," sabi ni Doringo sa programa ngayong gabi.

Gaya rin daw ng ghost projects sa flood control programs, tila may 'ghost pabahay' din daw ang gobyerno sa ilalim ng Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program (4PH) ng Marcos Jr administration dahil malabong aabutin nito ang target na zero informal settlers sa taong 2028.
