Stop the War Coalition Philippines invites everyone to join a mass solidarity action!
WHERE: Liwasang Bonifacio
WHEN: November 29, 10:00 AM – 12:00 NN
WHAT: A gathering of people’s solidarity to demand an end to the genocide in Gaza and to expose the Philippine government’s ties to the Israeli war machine.

As highlighted in a recent UN report, the world is witnessing a global “economy of genocide,” where corporations and governments profit from the destruction of Palestinian life. This system is not distant—it is here in the Philippines.

Philippine taxes fund Israeli arms companies like Elbit and Rafael, whose bombs are devastating Gaza. Philippine lands, such as in Siargao, are being turned into settler enclaves. Filipino farmers are locked in debt to overpriced Israeli agri-tech. The silence and complicity of the Philippine government must end.

A joint statement is also expected to be published by November 29. It is hoped that organizations can endorse the statement by November 26.

Join the action to demand:

  • End Israel’s occupation and genocide!
  • Accountability for US–Israel war crimes!
  • End Philippine complicity!
  • Justice for all peoples resisting militarism and corruption!

The program will feature cultural performances, including a powerful Dabke dance—a celebration of Palestinian culture and a defiant act of resistance against erasure.

Solidarity Through Food: Support Palestinian Refugee Small Business
