Malaya Movement is a broad movement of individuals, organizations, and various formations united under our objectives to defend human rights, democracy, and sovereignty in the Philippines which is expressed through the following points of unity:1. Democracy:
We stand for democracy that is founded on full participation of the broad majority of the Filipino people. We uphold the necessity of institutions in a democratic society such as media, institutions of faith and education to exist without repressive interference from the government, military, or other civil bodies. We denounce the practice of political dynasties and the use of wealth to gain unfair advantage.2. Human Rights:
We stand for peopleโs rights which includes civil and political rights, socio-cultural rights and the right to self-determination. We denounce and work to end extrajudicial killings, a culture of impunity, and all forms of human rights violations.3. Sovereignty:
We stand for a genuine national sovereignty and assert that the waters, lands, and resources of the Philippine nation should be enjoyed and principally employed in the service of the Filipino people. We denounce unequal military and economic agreements that extract resources or take advantage of our lands and waters to the detriment of the Filipino people.

Philippine Human Rights Act
The Philippines has been deemed one of the deadliest countries in the world for land defenders, journalists and trade unionists.Advocacy is a key part of our continued efforts to resist tyranny and dictatorship, and in building a grassroots movement.We are calling for the introduction of a Philippine Human Rights Act (PHRA): โTo suspend United States security assistance to the Philippines until such time as human rights violations by Philippine security forces cease and the responsible state forces are held accountable.โTo learn more, check out the PHRA website.In San Diego, the various campaigning efforts of organizations and community members resulted in solidifying the support of Reps. Juan Vargas and Sara Jacobs, both signing onto the bill in 2021. Now, we are focusing our efforts on getting the sponsorship of Rep. Scott Peters who is part of the US-Philippines Friendship Caucus.
