The deployment is part of BASC’s continuing partnership with the CHR Regional Office III, established through a memorandum of agreement signed in 2025.

Headed by Atty. Leorae D. Valmonte, the regional office remains committed to protecting and promoting the rights of all individuals, particularly marginalized and vulnerable sectors in Central Luzon.

🇵🇭 𝓚𝓪𝓵𝓪𝔂𝓪𝓪𝓷, 𝓚𝓲𝓵𝓸𝓼, 𝓑𝓪𝔂𝓪𝓷! ✊🏼

128 taon ng pakikibaka, 128 taon ng tapang.
Ang kalayaan ay hindi natatapos sa pahina ng ating kasaysayan—ito’y patuloy na isinusulat sa bawat kilos ng mamamayan.

Ang tunay na kalayaan ay nakikita sa ating pagkilos, sa ating pagtutol, at sa ating pagkakaisa para sa kapakanan ng ating bayan.

Ngayon, ipagdiwang natin ang diwa ng kalayaan sa pamamagitan ng sama-samang pagkilos tungo sa mas makatarungan at mas malayang lipunan.

Sama-sama nating itaguyod ang diwa ng kalayaan—sa lansangan, sa komunidad, at sa iba't ibang anyo ng bayanihan.
