Bandilang Itim
Ang akdang ito ay isinulat ni Joseph A. Labadie at muling nilimbag sa dandelion, vol 3, bl. 12, Tag-lamig 1979 sa isang “polyetong orihinal na inilathala ng Liberty Club of Detroit.” Inisalin ni Malaginoo.
Gusto mong sabihin sa’yo kung ano ba ang Anarkismo, ‘di ba? Kaya ko naman siyang tangkain, at sa simple kong paraan pa-intindihin sa iyo kahit papaano na hindi ito ang pinagsasabi ng mga walang-alam na mga kapitalistang pahayagan, sinungaling, hangal, at kontrabida.

On the 12th of June, the Philippine Republic will celebrate Independence Day, on the day Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista declared the existence of a free and independent “Republic Filipina” against the colonial government of the Spanish East Indies in the town of Kawit, Cavite in 1898. Myth and legend has surrounded those events, such as the idea that Aguinaldo read the actual declaration on the balcony of his own house, both patently untrue.
However, these stories still circulate, largely because of the prestige and power June 12 holds in the history and consciousness of the people of the Philippines.

Mahirap intindihin ang takbo ng oras kapag quarantine. Ramdam natin na ang kaganapang matagal na ang nakalipas ay para bang kahapon lang nangyari, kahapon lang o noong isang araw. Pero sariwa pa rin sa kalooban ang huling Mayo Uno, na para bang isang beses lang lumubog ang araw noong kalaunan. Kita naman natin kung bakit. Pareho ang mga problemang ating hinaharap. Pareho pa rin ang panunupil na pinupwersa sa atin. Ang mismong kawalan ng katarungan na ating sinasakdal sa mga may-kapangyarihan ay patuloy na lumalakas, na sinamahan pa ng isang krisis sa ating kalusugan.

It’s hard to track how time flows in the quarantine. Events that happened long ago felt like they just happened yesterday, or the day before that. Meanwhile, the cries and calls of the last May Day still feel as fresh and ripe, as if the sun has set only once this past year. We can see why that is the case anyway. We still face the same issues. We still reject the repression forced onto us. We still reject the same impunity that continues to be strengthened by those in power, all while we are facing a crisis and threat to our own health.

To better understand the history of Anarchism in the Philippines and the state terror unleashed by Rodrigo Duterte, we were thrilled to speak with the Bandilang Itim collective.
Butingtaon: With the recent laws passed to supposedly mitigate the effects of the pandemic, I think one term we should be keeping an eye on is “Solidarity,” which we at Bandilang Itim translate as “Bayanihan.” As opposed to the “Patriotism” and “Nationalism” that is constantly being invoked by those in power and those with harmful motives (very often, the same people) to maintain unity with those who continue to exploit the inhabitants of this archipelago we’ve come to call the Philippines; We offer in its place Solidarity, caring for and supporting your fellow human being, recognizing that overcoming your shared weaknesses is how we build our shared strength.

On December 30, the day set aside to commemorate Dr. José Rizal, scientist, author, and icon of the Philippine Republic, it is only right to emulate his example by analyzing and critiquing our society. Our contributor Malaginoo focuses on a concept that informs how we regard Rizal and his contemporaries during the ascendance of “Filipino nationalism”: Heroes. Specifically, national heroes.
