Bakit Tibak?
Tibak, is a slang term for “aktibista”, known and used by activists across different issues and struggles, and slandered and demonized by the Philippine government across administrations.
But to be an activist, is simply to take action—to speak out, educate, protest—towards change. And to be a human rights activist, a.k.a human rights defender, is to take action for human rights change.
