PortlandCHRP - Portland Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines

On January 1st, 2026, the US-backed Armed Forces of the Philippines carried out a series of bombings in Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro, killing 5, displacing hundreds, and resulting in the temporary disappearance and later detainment of Filipina-American community activist Chantal Anicoche.

US Senator from Oregon Jeff Merkley has issued statements of support for community organizers in the Philippine, but has often been hesitant to take substantive action. As US imperialism worsens its slaughter worldwide, we are calling on Merkley to condemn and demand investigations into not just the bombings but also the wave of terror-tagging (labelling, harassing, and attacking all activists critical of the government as “terrorists) by the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict.

When: Monday, 3/16, 5:30-7:30PM
Where: PSU Cramer Hall, Room 053

Join PCHRP, Tuesday 3/10, 6-8PM, at Honey Latte Cafe (1033 SE Main ST) for our open general meeting!

This December, Portland Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines is celebrating its 20 year anniversary!
Throughout PCHRP’s history, we have consistently and tirelessly campaigned in solidarity with the Filipino people’s movement. We have mobilized in the streets against extrajudicial killings; we have visited with legislators to demand an end to US military aid to the Philippines; we have sent over 100 people to the Philippines on solidarity missions to integrate with workers, peasants, indigenous communities, and human rights defenders to see the situation firsthand and bring back the stories and lessons to share widely. We have listened to the stories of Filipino seafarers docked in the ports of Portland forced to leave their homes and families to work in dangerous conditions on the ships. And we have consistently stood alongside communities here in Portland fighting for a better future, linking movements in solidarity across the globe.

While we celebrate our 20 years and the work we have done, we recognize that the human rights situation in the Philippines, and around the world, grows worse. From devastating typhoons, to attacks on migrants locally, to the continued attacks on communities defending their rights, the need for people’s movements, for solidarity, and for a stronger fight for justice and liberation grows more vital.

Please join us this December 10th from 5:30-8:30PM to celebrate the past 20 years and look forward to the fight ahead together!

PCHRP stands alongside and continues to fight for indigenous communities in the Philippines who are defending their right to land, ancestral domain, social services and self-determination. 

PCHRP continues its campaign of solidarity by sharing and exposing the human rights violations that are happening, the US role in maintaining and perpetuating this system, mobilizing people to the Philippines to see the conditions for themselves, and coordinate with Filipino-organizations and other allies to continue fighting for a just and lasting peace in the Philippines.
