Earlier this week, members from various local Filipino grassroots organizations were on a podcast show and spoke about & discussed on the issues of the Duterte's Drug War in the Philippines. The show is #112BK - a mostly Brooklyn-based podcast show that covers politics, art, culture, and general NYC issues. Respective interviewees include Bernadette Patino of @malayamovement, Jackelyn Mariano of @ichrpnyc , and Matt Rosales of Migrante Youth NY @migranteusa // . Topics tackled on the show include a brief history of Duterte's strange popularity; Discussion on how the drug war affects impoverished people and neighborhoods while big-time drug dealers are still at large; the need to cut $184.5 million in U.S. military aid to the Philippines that essentially funds the Philippine military to carry out these extrajudicial killings (EJK) in so-called bloody drug war and so much more. . To listen to the entire podcast please follow this link: https://share.transistor.fm/s/3ab94553 . Thanks again to host Mackenzie and the good people at @bricbrooklyn for the opportunity to have some of our local organizers speak on your podcast show. We hope the conversation on the issues of the Philippines will spark interest among all our listeners. And we hope this podcast will inspire everyone to take action and get involved in the immediate future because these issues not only affect our kababyans (fellow Filipinos and countryman) in the homeland but also abroad in the U.S. and around the world. . . . WHAT'S NEXT?? Sunday, June 2nd!! ABNY will be marching with Malaya Movement in the NYC Philippine Independence Day! All Filipinos and non-Filipinos are welcomed to join our contingent.

#tbt Guest spot it on #112BK. I looked good, but this was before I stammered my way through the segment. My on-air game needs work. #talkingheadswag #bscene (at BRIC TV)
