“Hindi krimen ang magligtas ng bata. Hindi krimen ang magturo.”

SANDIWA stands with Save Our Schools Mindanao and the Lumad people in demanding justice for the Talaingod 13. The truth is clear: they did not harm Lumad children—they helped save them. Yet those who protected children and defended their right to education are the ones being punished, while those behind threats, displacement, and violence remain unaccountable.

This unjust conviction is an attack on Lumad schools, Indigenous education, and the right of Indigenous Peoples to land, dignity, and self-determination. We reiterate: Saving Lumad children is not a crime. Teaching is not a crime. Defending Indigenous communities is not a crime.

Reverse the unjust conviction of the Talaingod 13. Reopen Lumad schools. Stand with Lumad communities. Fight for justice.

Message SANDIWA on Facebook to coordinate support, solidarity actions, and advocacy for justice for the Talaingod 13 and Lumad communities.

SANDIWA stands with the transport strike and the people’s resistance against the worsening fuel and energy crisis. Imperialist war, oil cartel profiteering, and anti-people policies continue to drive prices up, while drivers, commuters, workers, peasants, fisherfolk, Indigenous Peoples, Moro communities, and the urban poor bear the heaviest burden.

We demand: Junk the Oil Deregulation Law. Remove VAT and excise tax on fuel and basic goods. Provide immediate, meaningful relief and subsidies for transport workers and poor communities. For Indigenous Peoples and Moro communities already facing dispossession, militarization, and deep economic marginalization, every oil price hike is another assault on livelihood, mobility, and survival.

The transport strike is a clear expression of public anger and must be met with stronger collective action and wider solidarity in the days ahead. We support efforts to expand protest actions, strengthen mutual aid, and hold the Marcos Jr. regime accountable for policies that favor foreign interests and big business over the people.

Support the transport strike and community pantry efforts. Donations in cash or kind are welcome. Message SANDIWA on Facebook for coordination.

People over profit. Oppose imperialist aggression. Advance the people’s struggle.

SANDIWA is a network of advocates committed to advancing the rights, welfare, and self-determination of Indigenous Peoples and Moro communities in the Philippines.

Through education, cultural work, solidarity missions, advocacy, humanitarian support, leadership formation, and partnership-building, SANDIWA helps strengthen organized, community-centered, and rights-based solidarity.

Stand with us.
Partner. Volunteer. Donate. Amplify.
