The aroma of freshly baked empanadas and savory pancit noodles filled the air as dozens gathered at Beacon Hill’s Station Cafe on the evening of Tuesday, March 8. With masks and bottles of hand sanitizer spread around the polished wooden tables, soft murmurs filled with anticipation blanketed the room.
The food was an aunt’s special recipe, said Jill Mangaliman, chairperson of GABRIELA Seattle, a Filipina women’s rights advocacy group. In the spirit of International Women’s Day, Mangaliman and other community organizers gathered to celebrate and amplify working women’s rights in the Philippines and beyond.
“For Filipinos, this day means a lot to us because the number one export in the Philippines, unfortunately, is people. Human labor, the majority of which are women, Filipino women, because there aren’t jobs at home,” Mangaliman said. “… People are forced to migrate and live all around the world. There’s Filipinos everywhere and just today is an important day for us because we are really highlighting that struggle, that continual need for a better system that meets the needs of our people.”

•&# • MANILA, Philippines — Rey Pinga vividly remembers the day he lost his mother. She was playing cards outside near their home in Manila, when masked gunmen riding three motorcycles came barreling through. Videos by VICE“The first motorcycle barred one end of the alley, the second one barred the other end. The one on the third motorcycle shot my mom,” he told VICE World News. “She died due to a shot here,” he said, pointing to his neck. He had been at the alleyway leading to their house at that time, but after the men had left, ran out to find his mother. “I went to check on my mom and it was really her. She was lying down on the ground with a broken hand,” he said. “She was dead on arrival.” The day was June 2, 2017, just over a year since the inauguration of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, and the start of his brutal drug war. Edna Pinga, Rey’s mother, was one of an estimated 27,000 people, according to rights groups, who died during Duterte’s crackdown, as suspected dealers, users and even unlucky bystanders were gunned down in extrajudicial killings. Pinga insists his mother never used or dealt drugs, but was on a watchlist because of a former partner who had been involved with drugs. “I miss her so much,” he said. “Sometimes when I get mad or something, | |
