Chapter of ANAKBAYAN, a comprehensive, national democratic mass organization of the Filipino youth, based in Toronto and the GTA.

The Toronto chapter of ANAKBAYAN advocates around Philippine issues and those affecting the Filipino community in Canada. We work with other Filipino and non-Filipino organizations with similar aims and objectives. Established on the 30th of November 1998 – the date of birth of Andres Bonifacio and pre-Martial Law organization Kabataang Makabayan – ANAKBAYAN seeks to unite the youths from different sectors of society to advance national freedom and genuine democracy in the Philippines.

Combat digital fascism and censorship! Follow Anakbayan Hamilton’s new account and sign the petition to SHUT THE PAX DOWN!!
------
Anakbayan joins the call to Shut Pax Down!

Pax Silica is just another method of how US imperialism is utilizing AI to deepen their tech-military hold on the world, to maintain their presence in a wider inter-imperialist war, deepening their plunder of global resources and land. The corrupt officials of the Philippines, the ones treating our homeland, its resources, and its people as a business, remain prime perpetrators in the sale of the Philippines to fill their pockets with cash and minerals while the common people bear the consequences of their actions.

Pax Silica will only result in further exploitation of the Filipino people, including landgrabbing, displacement, stealing of resources and wages, and much, much more!

As Filipino youth in Canada, we see similar actions occurring in Canada, with data centres and oil pipelines popping up all over on indigenous land and near our homes. In Hamilton, the people gathered to protest against the development of a data centre being built by Slate Asset Management, which will surely only be used to bring more violence and crimes against the masses around the world.

Join Anakbayan! Organize with us to show the power of the people! Alone, it may seem impossible, but together we are strong.

Reject Pax Silica!
Stop the ESZ!
Reject all forms of imperialist control and militarized development!

Join Anakbayan Toronto as we hold our HINDIpendence Day Artbuild! We’ll be creating pinatas of Bato dela Rosa, Sara Duterte and Bongbong Marcos!

It has been 128 years since the declaration of the Philippines' Independence day, but is the Philippines truly free? While the Philippine government enriches themselves with their people’s money, millions of Filipinos face growing inflation and oil price hikes. Marcos Jr. is a puppet of the US, inviting Canadian and American troops to conduct military exercises in our homelands, destroying the local environment and disrupting the livelihoods of locals. The Philippines can not truly be free as long as its fascist government collaborates with the US.

As Filipino youth, we must continue to speak out against the injustices that keep our people poor! We will continue to Arouse, Organize, and Mobilize towards genuine national democracy, peace and liberation for all people.

Join us for an educational discussion, food, art and connections with other like-minded Filipinos! Please note that this event is a potluck so we encourage attendees to bring food/snacks for sharing!

ANYARE??? ANO BATO???

Anakbayan Toronto joins the calls to hold Sara Duterte accountable for her crimes and to arrest Bato Dela Rosa!

SARA PANAGUTIN! BATO ARESTUHIN!

The Duterte Camp in the Philippine Senate is doing all in their power to delay impeachment from staging a senate ousting to giving a criminal state protection. Marcos Jr. is not free from blame either. We must expose these political dynasties and their cronies for their deliberate failures to serve the people, from stealing funds to murder!

Hold both the Dutertes and the Marcoses accountable! Hand over Bato Dela Rosa to the International Criminal Court!

As Filipino youth in the diaspora, we know how embarrassing the government, the system, and the people who run it are. Can you believe these guys are the reason our families leave the Philippines to look for better lives?

Let’s be the ones to fight for our futures!

DEFEND NEGROS! HUSTISYA PARA SA NEGROS 19!

Anakbayan Toronto invites you to a community vigil this Thursday, April 30th at 6PM in front of the Philippine Consulate to demand justice for the 19 lives lost and over 600 displaced by the Armed Forces of the Philippines’ brutal attack on the communities of Negros Occidental.

As overseas Filipino youth, we must fight back against the state’s brutal militarization of rural communities, which only serves to protect the wealthy’s economic interest to plunder our land!

Please wear black.

Anakbayan Toronto stands with the calls for the liberation, self-determination, and defense of the Cordilleras!

April 24th is Cordillera People’s Day, marking 42 years since the murder of Kalinga chief and land defender Macli-ing Dulag by the Marcos regime. Macli-ing Dulag’s assasination sparked a unified resistance of the Cordillera Peoples against the World Bank-backed Chico River Dam, forcing the Marcos regime to abandon the destructive project.

The legacy of this resistance is marked and celebrated over 40 years later as the Cordillera Indigenous Peoples continue to fight for land, life and livelihood that is threatened by increasing mining, militarization, targeted attacks, harassment and “red-tagging” against Indigenous activists, resulting in forced disappearances and murder by state forces, such as the abductions of Dexter Capuyan and Bazoo de Jesus.

Activism is not a crime. The protection of land, life and livelihood is not a crime! Anakbayan Toronto joins in solidarity with the Indigenous Peoples of the Cordillera Region to oppose the US-backed puppet government, exploitative corporations, and their forces, who seek to destroy the land and lives of Indigenous Peoples in the name of profit. While Canada and the Philippines claim to protect Indigenous Peoples and the environment, their interests and actions prove opposite. Canadian military agreements such as the Status of Visiting Forces Agreement as well as Canadian-owned and funded mining corporations actively contribute to endangering communities and harming the resource-rich environment. All for the profit of the imperialists and puppet government, and at the deadly expense of the Peoples who have cared for and protected the land for millenia.

We in the diaspora understand our connected struggle borne out of labour export and forced migration - as Filipinos on Turtle Island we stand in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples worldwide as we fight for genuine liberation and self-determination for all.

May our struggles unite us in the face of repression!
Indigenous Youth Rise!
Assert the right to Land, Life and Livelihood!
Isang bagsak!

Anakbayan Toronto vehemently opposes the brutal attack on Negros Occidental that took place on April 19th which have left 19 civilians dead, and over 600 innocents displaced from their homes.

Among those killed were student leader Alyssa Alano and people’s journalist RJ Ledesma. RJ and Alyssa dedicated their lives to struggling for a better, brighter tomorrow for all Filipinos, both back home and those forced to migrate around the world. Their devotion to the people lives on in every single Filipino youth that joins the fight for national democracy and land reform in the Philippines by immersing themselves with the toiling masses.

As Filipino youth in so-called Toronto, we feel deeply connected to the youth activists who have lost their lives. It is our responsibility to put an end to Canada’s complicity in the US-backed Marcos-Duterte regime. To take a stand against the Carney government’s enthusiastic participation in this year’s Balikatan war games, which are just a piece of the brutal military machinery that killed RJ, Alyssa, and the thousands of others who have lost their lives to extrajudicial killings by the Philippine state.

CANADA OUT OF THE PHILIPPINES!
Reject and resist the US-Marcos-Duterte regime!
Justice for Alyssa Alano!
Justice for RJ Ledesma!
Defend Negros!

Please join us for the protest against the world’s largest Mining Convention, PDAC - Prospector’s and Developer’s Association of Canada with

📆 Sunday, March 1
📍Simcoe Park

Like many other countries, the Philippines is not underdeveloped, it is overexploited! As Filipinos and allies in Canada, we know that Canada’s investment in the Philippines’ Mining Industry is not for the interest of the people, as the mining often leads to environmental plunder, community destruction, and the worsening of climate change impacts, such as the disastrous typhoon Tino and Uwan just last fall.

Since August last year, residents and land defenders of Dupax del Norte in Nueva Vizcaya have been leading anti-mining protests against Woggle. We must tand with our kababayans, knowing our struggles are intrinsically linked with theirs!

Please DM us for more details!

Defend the Land Defenders!
No to Mining!
No to Corruption!
Respect Indigenous Peoples Rights!

Last month we hosted a screening of EDJOP, a film about Edgar Joseph (Edjop), a student activist during Marcos Sr.’s fascist regime that left a legacy on the revolutionary history of the Philippines. Today 40 years ago in 1986, EDSA People Power I occured, before Edjop could see the fruits of the people’s struggle unite into the ousting of Marcos Sr.

Remembering EDSA People Power I reminds us that change is not made by the individual, but by those who choose to organize and mobilize for change! Join us in the struggle, join Anakbayan!

Want to get organized? Ask us about our current initiatives such as joining our contingent in MISN’s The Future is Landback Rally against PDAC this Sunday, March 1 and CFSON’s Hands Off Our Education Rally on Wednesday, March 4!

Anakbayan Toronto vehemently condemns the House of Representatives’ decision to dismiss the impeachment complaints against Ferdinand Marcos Jr. under the guise of “insufficient substance”. Filipinos all over the world are in outrage of the irresponsibility and carelessness of this decision, when it is clear that Marcos approved the budget and false insertions himself, as is required by his role!

This Feb 22-25 is the 40th anniversary of the first EDSA People Power of 1986 - a reminder how people do indeed have power and that there are way more of us than there are of the ruling, exploitative elite! As Filipino youth abroad, we must fight for our futures, for a better future for the Filipino people and all peoples around the world!

Join us at the upcoming EDSA@40 Commemoration!
📆 Sunday, February 22, 2026
