DESCRIPTION:STAND FIRM WITH FILIPINOS AGAINST MILITARIZATION AND STATE VIOLENCE! CALL 
 FOR U.S. OUT OF THE PHILIPPINES!\n\nThis past week, Secretary of State 
 Anthony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, were touring the 
 Asia Pacific to strengthen their pivot to Asia Pacific strategy. They 
 visited countries like Japan, Australia, and the Philippines. In these 2+2 
 meeting between members of the American govt and their Philippine 
 counterparts, they discussed an additional $500 million in military aid 
 going to the PH on top of the $2.5billion coming from the PERA Act 
 throughout 2025 to 2029. This meeting was held just 1 week after President 
 Marcos gave his State of the National Address praising the success of his 
 so-called “Bagong Pilipinas” and amidst the environmental emergency 
 caused by Typhoon Carina. The U.S. state officials neglect the people in 
 favor of funding the forces committing human rights violations against 
 activists, workers, peasants, and indigenous peoples abroad!\n\nJoin this

 turned into a war base for the U.S., learn how to resist against further 
 war provocations and demand more money for social services!\n\n🗓️WHEN:
