Bloody "New Philippines" of the US-Marcos regime

Human Rights Report

(December 1, 2023-June 30, 2024)

In the past two years of the US-Marcos regime in power, nothing has marked its reign more than the intensified violence against the Filipino people and suppression of human rights. To illustrate these cases and strengthen the campaign for justice, Ang Bayan (AB) releases this report on the state of human rights in the country.

This report is based on information collected and analyzed by AB on cases of human rights violations committed by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the Philippine National Police (PNP) and other armed agents of the US-Marcos regime from December 1, 2023 to June 30 this year. This is the third in a series of human rights reports issued by the AB under the current regime. Illustrated here is the intense brutality and violence suffered by the Filipino people in the past seven months, under the ongoing campaign of repression and counterinsurgency by the US-Marcos regime.

As in the past, many cases in the countryside went unreported due to the difficulty of sending reports by units facing intense military operations. There are also cases in which only the general incident was recorded, without the exact number of victims.

This report does not include cases of killings under the "war on drugs" perpetuated by the Marcos regime. This current report also does not adequately cover the many violations against Moro people's human rights that are not reported to the public.

International standards for estimating the number of victims of evacuation and militarization, and the number of children affected, were used by AB in this report.
