"As August has come to be marked as a month of killings in the Philippines, under the Duterte administration — an administration whose legacy is widespread killings, suffering families left behind, and state terror, we choose to mark August as a month of remembering and reckoning: a month of taking action and demanding justice. This State policy of mass murder must end.

Last year, on August 10, 2020, peace advocate, land, and environmental defender Randall "Randy" Echanis was murdered in his residence in Quezon City. An independent autopsy of his remains showed that he was tortured before he was stabbed to death. Echanis was a long-time consultant of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) in the peace negotiations with the Philippine government and a member of the NDFP Reciprocal Working Committee on Socio-Economic Reforms. He was the chairperson of Anakpawis Partylist and the deputy secretary-general of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas."

Isinulat noong ika-30 ng Hulyo, taong 2021, kasagsagan ng harasment at mga ilegal na demolisyon, at presensya ng di-bababa sa isang-daang goons ng Merge Core at Seraph Security Agency na armado ng mahahabang baril sa Lupang Tartaria o Lupang Aguinaldo, na gaya ng Lupang Kapdula at Lupang Ramos, ay mga lupang sakahan sa Cavite na kinakamkam ng mga panginoong maylupa gaya ng mga Enrile, Aguinaldo, Sy, at mga korporasyong tulad ng JAKA Development Corp., Sta. Lucia Realty, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (dating NAPOCOR) at iba pa.

Ang pinaghalawan na awitin ay Kumustahan, isinulat ng dating bilanggong pulitikal na si Ericson Acosta, isang rebolusyonaryo. 

Kuha ang imahe sa Lupang Kapdula, lupang sakahan sa Dasmariñas, Cavite na kinakamkam ng JAKA Developmemt Corp. at Sta. Lucia Realty ng pamilya Enrile.

Maulan pa rin dito, tubig kadalasan
Ngunit kung minsan naman ay mga guwardiya
Pero sa akin ay huwag kang mag-aalala
Ikaw naman kaya ay kumusta na?

Maputik pa rin dito, naaalala ko tuloy
Ang lusong-ahon natin dun sa may Kapdula
Madulas-dulas pa ako't naghahabol ng hininga
Pero masaya habang kasama ka

Iyapos mo na lang ako, pag nakalabas na ng bahay
Ikamay sa mga kasama sa muli mong paghanay
Ihalik mo na lang ako sa liwasa't lansangan
Kumusta na, kumusta na?
Mula rito sa Tartaria

Malamok pa rin dito, pero sa aking hilik
Ay natataboy sila
Kaya't sa balat ko'y wag ka nang mag-alala
Ikaw naman kaya ay kumusta na?

Malamig pa rin dito, naaalala ko tuloy
Ang mga yakap at kulitan nating dalawa
Napakatatag ng 'yong pinamalas talaga
Kahit may balakid ay sumulong ka

Iyapos mo na lang ako, pag nakalabas na ng bahay
Ikamay sa mga kasama sa muli mong paghanay
Ihalik mo na lang ako sa liwasa't lansangan
Kumusta na, kumusta na?
Mula rito sa Tartaria

Kumustahan (Mula Rito sa Tartaria)

A cover of the combined Papuri sa Sosyalismo and Bayan Bayan Bayan Ko, performed and recorded some time in 2022 by the Cavite Cultural Alliance for Social Change (CCLASIC) and the Southern Tagalog Cultural Alliance (STCA) at a disputed agricultural land in Cavite with a generations-long struggle for genuine land reform.

This was recorded as a backing track for a protest commemorating the peasant struggle under the Duterte regime; from the early pretentious time of the fascist dictator, to his unmasking and the blatant attacks against the Filipino people such as the passage of the Anti-Terror Law, the Bloody Sunday Massacre, the numerous bombardments of rural communities in the countryside and many, many more.

The chanting also tackles on why the Filipino people, especially the peasantry pursue the path of armed revolution and the people's war as the only genuine solution in addressing and resolving the roots of landlessness, poverty, exploitation, and fundamental problems of the society as a whole. 

"Bayang api! Bayang ginugutom! Bayang minasaker! Magkapit-bisig! Durugin ang kaaway! 
(Oppressed people! Starved people! Massacred people! Chain-up arms! Destroy the enemy!" 


"Iisa lang ang kasagutan! Sa pagpapalaya ng bayan! Kapag pumula ang silangan! Malapit na'ng kalayaan! Kalayaang makakamtan... SA DIGMANG BAYAN! 
(There's only one answer! In liberating our land! When the East turns red! Freedom is near! Freedom that can be achieved... THROUGH THE PEOPLE'S WAR!)"

Struggle for national democracy!

D'yandi is a song composed and performed by Edge Uyanguren in 2001. It was released as part of Tunog Bobongan Music album in 2015 and Igpaw Mindanao Album of Musikang Bayan iin that same year. It became the anthem of the 2015 Manilakbayan. 

Historically, D'yandi is a peace pact among members of the Indigenous Peoples. Its meaning has evolved through the years and is now used as a form of solidarity and resistance of Lumads against plunder and large scale mining operations in Mindanao.

Isang Minuto ng Katahimikan

mga animal, para-paraan
tinaniman niyo na naman
ang mamamayan na lumalaban sa kalaban
tangina yan
walang kayong warrant na mabigay
pinosasan niyo ang kamay
pinalabas ng mga bahay
tinaniman niyo nga ng armalite
may mga pistol, merong granada
ang iba dito nanlaban daw
luma nang kwento
nag-iba lang kayo ng mga binibiktima
kayo dapat ang laman ng listahan
ng kailangang nakatatanggap
ng karahasan, ng pugot-ulo
kung pulis ka, putang ina mo

sinakop na ng mga korporasyon
ang mga bahay, lupa, buong lungsod
hinakot ang kita ng produksyon
tinakot ang mga nasa unyon
sangkot dito ang kooperasyon
ng pulis, afp, at administrasyon
sa pagpapalayas, pangha-harass
sa mararahas na pangangalas
sa mga residente, mga ip
mga picket, at mga rally
panununog ng barangay
panunupil at pagpatay
tangina niyong mga burgis kayo
ang neoliberal mga tang ina niyo
kung afp ka, putang ina mo
kung pnp ka, putang ina mo
