We are Citizens of the Philippines and We Support President Rodrigo R. Duterte's No-nonsense Fight Against Illegal Drugs, Corruption, and Criminality towards Lasting Peace, Inclusive Growth, and Sustainable Development

Realize Change!
Strengthen Unity of Kilusang Pagbabago
Against Anti-Change Forces
TEN months into his administration, President Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte (PMRRD) has hurdled the increasing challenges obstructing the advancement of the agenda for real change the Filipino people longed for.
PMRRD is determined in the campaign to eliminate corruption, anti-illegal drugs, anti-crime, pursue the peace process, shift to federalism and improve governance to effectively and swiftly deliver the needed services to the people especially at the grassroots.
However, the government bureaucracy is still haven to numerous crooks, largely those carried over from the previous administrations.
 Others made their way during the elections. There are those that were able to sneak through by masking themselves, or through their connections with the President and his men.
Kilusang Pagbabago believes PMRRD is sincere. He has strong political will to pursue the change agenda. But government is far from perfect.
Many elements within the bureaucracy hold conflicting interests and positions on various issues even among the members of the broad and loose PMRRD alliance, to the detriment of the interest of the majority of the Filipino people.
The “yellows” and their foreign backers have mounted synchronized assaults aimed to impeach the President.
Parallel media offensives both at the national and international fronts were escalated on the issue of Extra Judicial Killings (EJK), with some known media outfits funded by drug money.
Even then, the campaign for anti illegal drugs of PMRRD still gains the popular and overwhelming support from 8 out of 10 Filipinos.
The local elite and the oligarch will not stop to destabilize and unseat PMRRD from the Presidency.
Unfortunately, a disgruntled government appointee is maligning and putting in bad light one of the President’s trusted men - Cab Sec Jun Evasco, along with Penpen Libres (lead convenor) and other leaders of Kilusang Pagbabago – Lead Organization, Inc./Nat’l. Organizing Committee (KP-LOI/NOC).
This appointee identified as Ms. Rowena Burden, a newly appointed commissioner of the Philippine Commission of Women (PCW) has engaged in defamation and derogatory assaults aimed at destroying the image and credibility of said KP personalities and the whole Kilusang Pagbabago (KP), which is a legitimate program included in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022.
Using red scare tactics in social media, she is urging people to leave the KP and join her newly organized “own” movement (called We, The People). We are sickened by the thick-faced attempts at sowing disunity, divisiveness and factionalism within the broad coalition of PMRRD supporters.
PMRRD, meanwhile, calls on the Filipino People to help him to succeed through participatory governance.
To derail us, we know snakes will continue to hatch political intrigues and dis-information. These are normal occurrences because anti-change forces will not stop.
We will not be cowed by any attempt of the Anti Change forces to obstruct and destabilize the administration of PMRRD.
KP will stand firm and vow to defend PMRRD and Cab Sec Evasco.
The broad stakeholders and members of Kilusang Pagbabago (KP) at the national and international levels, under the guidance of KP-LOI/NOC hereby manifest our strong unity and commitment to intensify the movement, realize change and establish a better Philippines for the next generations to come.
Mabuhay ang mga KPyanos sa buong mundo!
Mabuhay ang Mamamayang Pilipino!
