TORONTO – Filipino progressives stand against corruption, impunity at the launch of Taumbayan Ayaw sa Magnanakaw at Abusado (TAMA NA) coalition in Toronto last Saturday, November 1.

According to the coalition’s unity statement, it is time the overwhelming majority of the people assert their power by transforming the corrupt system that is unresponsive to their just demands into a truly democratic and people-oriented system.

The coalition, composed of Filipino migrant workers, youth and progressives based in Canada emphasized that as their families struggle through floods, disasters, and poverty, hundreds of billions of pesos are stolen by corrupt public officials and private contractors through ghost projects and failed flood control programs.
