The League of Filipino Students challenged the Supreme Court to reverse the split Court of Appeals decision on the Morong 43 habeas corpus petition and abandon ‘Marcosian habeas corpus doctrines’ in light of the privileged status of human rights and civil liberties under the 1987 Constitution.
“Upon the passage of the 1987 Constitution, human rights and [...]
The League of Filipino Students warned that the appointment of Gen. Delfin Bangit as AFP Chief-of-Staff reeks of dangerous historic references to former dictator Marcos’ most loyal general, Fabian Ver.
“It is no secret that Gen. Bangit is Mrs. Arroyo’s most favored and loyal general, and we are certain that he would serve Mrs. Arroyo’s interests [...]
The League of Filipino Students warned that the stubbornness of Malacanang to force the appointment of a new Supreme Court Chief Justice is suspect as to the real motives of the Arroyo regime in the 2010 elections and beyond.

“The supposed filing of mere illegal possession of firearms and explosives is incontrovertible proof that the AFP has no case against the community health workers they shamelessly label as NPA rebels. Had they been truly confident, they would have filed outright rebellion charges, but they have not.”
“Gonzalez is a bigot. His ideas are not only preposterous, his anti-communist tirade belongs to the dustbin of history, as old as US Senator Mc Carthy in the 1950s. We belong to a legal organization fighting for just demands. By publicly declaring that we are communists, Gonzales signed our death sentence, as it is an indirect order for the state mercenaries to arrest, torture and kill us”
“Moreover, with the reports on torture and forced confessions being confirmed by the day, the military handlers and their chiefs may even be labeled as war criminals under International Humanitarian Law.”
“Today, we reaffirm our commitment to Kabataan Partylist and vow to make them return to Congress to continue its politics of change and hope.”
