Divided into six clusters, fighting demands were formulated for the following areas: the economy, social services, human rights and peace, good governance, national sovereignty, and freedom of expression. The People\u2019s Summit and the People\u2019s Agenda presented are a culmination of these efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While not new, today\u2019s summit comes at a time of grave economic and political crisis mirrored by the proliferation of political dynasties, oligarchs and foreign powers that have benefited from government\u2019s rabid advancement of almost 50 years of neoliberal policies. For the people, this has meant an unprecedented jobs crisis, poverty, deteriorating social and public services, environmental destruction and the violation of people\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2022 elections, participating organizations noted, has also resulted in the installation of a new administration that lacks a legitimate mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summit has affirmed how the presented People\u2019s Agenda and demands are not merely suggestions. These will be at the heart of the people\u2019s continuing fight for accountability and for a comprehensive plan for genuine change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IBON is a co-sponsor of the People\u2019s Summit along with the Movement for Good Governance and Genuine Democracy (MG3D), the Makabayan Bloc,&nbsp; and the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The People\u2019s Agenda and demands are not merely suggestions.
