About Anakbayan Philadelphia
Anakbayan Philadelphia is the comprehensive national democratic mass organization of Filipino youth and students in the Philadelphia area. Anakbayan Philadelphia seeks to unite the youth from different sectors of society to advance the cause of national democracy. Anakbayan holds the belief that Philippine society today is not truly free nor democratic. It is under the control of U.S imperialism, along with local landlords, big capitalists, and corrupt government officials. The National Democratic Struggle seeks to realize true national liberation for the country and the realization of the democratic rights of the people.
