Justice for Unionist Dandy Miguel: Dead after eight gunshot wounds

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Dandy Miguel has been confirmed dead after sustaining eight gunshots from unidentified assailants. 

Walong beses binaril. Walong beses binaril ang isang unyonista. Walong beses binaral ang hindi nanlaban at walang kalaban laban. Walong beses binaril ang isang kaibigan, kapatid, at kasama. Ang pangalan niya ay Dandy Miguel.

Three weeks after the #BloodySunday raids in Calabarzon, Ka Dandy was reportedly shot 8 times by unknown assailants. Tinambangan ngayong gabi sa Sitio Asia 1, Brgy. Canlubang, Calamba. He was declared dead right after arriving at JP Rizal Memorial Hospital.

Kasabay ng pag-ihip ng kandila ng berdugong si Duterte ay ang pagtirik ng kandila para sa mga kinitil ng estado. ngayong gabi, isa na namang lider-unyon ang walang habas na inalisan ng buhay at karapatan. sobra na. wasto lamang na kolektibong lumaban.

While millions of Filipinos starve amidst a new round of ECQ, labor union leader Dandy Miguel wearing the words, "Sahod, Trabaho, Karapatan, Ipaglaban!" on his shirt, was killed.

In less than a month, another Southern Tagalog civic leader and union man has been shot and killed. Dandy Miguel was one of the notable speakers in a forum held by Youth UNBOUND-Southern Tagalog last year. He was a union leader from Southern Tagalog and the 10th unarmed activist to be shot this month, three weeks after the murder of 9 activists during #BloodySunday. 

No warrant this time. Just a cowardly bullet to the head.

Si Dandy Miguel, ang kasalukuyang Vice Chairperson ng PAMANTIK KMU at Tagapangulo ng Lakas ng Nagkakaisang Manggagawa ng Fuji Electric - OLALIA-KMU.

Ka Dandy Miguel fought for workers' rights and amplified their calls. He was a human rights defender, NOT a terrorist. 

"Sahod, Trabaho, Karapatan, Ipaglaban"

Yan ang mensahe ng t-shirt na suot ni Pang Dandy nang barilin siya kagabi. Mula sa kaniyang huling oras, binitbit niya ang panawagan ng mga manggagawa. Mabuhay ka, Pang Dandy.  

Justice for Pang. Dandy!

Ito na. Pinagsasamantalahan na naman ng estado ang pagkakaroon muli ng ECQ. Duterte, Palpak, Pasista! 

This is the 10th unarmed activist this month in CALABARZON region shot under the Duterte regime, 9 others were the murdered #Calabarzon9 3 weeks ago. 

They shot our labor leader Pang Dandy.

Nanlaban na naman ba? Nakitaan na naman ng baril? Others will tagged him as NPA just to justify these killings! Many innocent lives lost in this pandemic already yet all-out support pa rin sa mga berdugo. Where’s your humanity, mga DDS?

When you kill an unarmed person, that's  pure evil. You think you're God. The true God will avenge for the blood of the slain.

3 weeks after the Bloody Sunday in Southern Tagalog which killed 5 individuals and several mass arrests, the regime continues its bloody war against individuals and progressives. Until now, victims of the regime have not received the justice they deserve.

At 'di titigil ang mga mangagagawa hangga't 'di napapatalsik si Duterte. Tuloy tuloy ang mga manggagawa sa pag-oorganisa at pagkilos hangga't 'di nakakamtan ang tunay na hustisya.

Powerful words from Ka Dandy. These will timelessly remain relevant especially at this time of oppression and fascism. Resistance remains our collective duty.

A civic leader is killed while an inutil president celebrates his birthday. Duterte gave shoot-to-kill order and 9 other activists died in Bloody Sunday.

If it means people live when he dies, yes, I'm with you -- #DuterteAngHulingKaarawan 

I’m crying in anger and I rarely feel this. This is how useless our government is. Napaka palpak at walang kwenta ng rehimeng ito!

Let us continue to demand the justice for all the victims of the regime and to stop the attacks and killings! Reorient the funds of the people for financial aid and for mass vaccinations instead of these killings!

We condemn this act of worsening impunity that followed after the killings of our fellow organizers and activists under the Duterte regime. Furthermore, we call for an immediate investigation and justice. 

HUSTISYA PARA KAY KA DANDY MIGUEL!

Mahigpit na yakap para sa lahat ng mga aktibista lalo na sa nga aktibista ng Timog Katagalugan.

Alam kong may takot at pangamba pero haharapin natin ang bukas na may ubos kayang pagkilos at pagpupunyagi para sa hustisya at kalayaan.

We demand justice, not just for Ka Dandy, but for all activists and civilians killed during the fascist Duterte regime. We call for the immediate ouster of the neoliberal dictator to put a stop to heinous crimes promulgated by this government.

This raped nation was forced to drink the blood of her own children, was forced to listen to the cry of her dying sons and abused daughters, and was stripped of all her rights, dignity, and sovereignty. They left her barely clothed, chained with shackles and blindfold.

I plead you, children of this raped and abused county. If there is any place for compassion and patriotism in your hearts, then listen to the bitter cry of this battered nation.
