This Saturday's episode, Philippe Hiñosa of Rise for Education Panay slammed DepEd's distance learning program which only aggravated the student's inaccessibility to education. The distance learning program only burdened the teachers who are printing the modules using their own money, students lack modules and reference materials for their worksheets and parents, finding a hard time to provide laptop and internet connections to their students especially when employment is scarce.

This Saturday's episode, Reynaldo Giganto, a member of Tumandok Indigenous People's, discusses the impact of militarization in their communities where NTF-ELCAC and military personnel sow fear and terror among the population. The Tumandoks are being directed to transfer near the village proper which resulted to the disruption of their economic activities and caused them to incur more debts just to build their new homes. There are community members who were subjected to surveillance and the military are creating intrigue between Tumandoks to break their unity. The NTF-ELCAC is using the Anti-Terror Law to frighten the Tumandoks to push them to "surrender" and "clear their names", a clear money-making scheme of the military using people's taxes.

This Saturday's episode, Atty. AK Guillen of the National Union of People's Lawyers - Panay, discusses how the implementing rules and regulations of the unconstitutional Anti-Terrorism Law makes it more draconian and dangerous. There were additions in the IRR which are not found in the law itself. The ATA, while facing 37 petitions at the Supreme Court, in essence will be used to cripple dissent against critics, dissenters and oppositions. Duterte's ATA, with people's collective action, will be ultimately fail.

This Saturday's episode with guest Phillippe Hiñosa of Rise for Education - Panay discusses their call to a safe opening of classes.  It is feasible because of existing structures like schools and classrooms and would only differ in the number of students per classroom to ensure distancing and provision of PPEs for students and teachers' safety. Instead of printing modules, the budget is best allotted to the construction of more classrooms and clinics, hiring of new teachers and healthcare workers to ensure health safety protocols in schools.
