The National Democratic Front in Southern Mindanao condemns the Philippine National Police’s illegal arrest of two Lumad brothers who attended the protest rally in Davao City during the first state of the nation address (SONA) of fake president Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on July 25. The Lumad youths must be immediately released without condition and the […]
The National Democratic Front in Southern Mindanao calls on all democratic and revolutionary forces in the region to militantly protest and proclaim the real state of the country during tomorrow’s expected spectacle of the nation address of the illegitimate Ferdinand Marcos Jr. regime. The Marcos II regime—whose veneer of authority is tenuously built upon his […]
There is not, nor has there ever been, a single localized peace engagement between any local reactionary government unit, much less any AFP unit, and any organization or unit of the revolutionary movement in Southern Mindanao. From the get-go when the previous US-Duterte regime dangled the idea of “localized peace talks,” the revolutionary movement in […]
Amid the series of natural and man-made disasters that swamped Davao Oriental since late last year, it is contemptuous that the local ruling class continues trying to deodorize the ill-effects of the on-going open pit and large-scale mining to the environment and the overall welfare of the masses in the province.

The unjust and cruel dispersal and subsequent arrest and detention of farmers and their supporters in Hacienda Tinang in Brgy. Concepcion, Tarlac stands as a liminal state that sends off the anti-peasant US-Duterte regime and welcomes the hardly-different “Marcos II presidency.” The crime? The peasants were ensuring that their families will have food on their […]
The recent so-called wage hike of P47, to be given in tranches, in Southern Mindanao is without question the final straw that breaks the horse’s back for workers across the region. It is the insulting apex of the US-Duterte regime’s anti-worker legacy that failed miserably in ensuring the welfare of the Filipino working class. To […]
On the 49th anniversary of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), the revolutionary united front organization of the Filipino people fighting for freedom and democratic rights, Kabataang Makabayan-Southern Mindanao Region offers the highest revolutionary salute to the martyrs of the people’s revolution and calls for justice for all the victims of state-perpetuated killings […]
