What is PAGBABAGO! People’s Movement for Change?

Pagbabago! People’s Movement for change is a network of individuals and groups united in a comprehensive reform program; it is a movement for substantial, not just superficial change.  It validates our people’s aspirations for economic progress and social justice; democratic rights not just for the elite but more so for the powerless and downtrodden; and genuine national independence and dignity as a people.
