Ellecer Cortes
Ellecer, called Boyong by friends, joined the Movement for Nationalism, the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation, and the Student Cultural Association of UP (SCAUP). He was one of the founders of the Kabataang Makabayan (KM) and was active in its cultural bureau. He was also one of the founders of the Samahang Demokratikong Kabataan (SDK), another militant youth organization. Local folk in Central Luzon treated him as a local hero because they felt that he articulated their dreams and goals. Activists in Manila campuses also regarded him as an idol for his pioneering work as an activist among rural people, preaching about nationalism and democracy.

Anakbayan-USA, a national Filipino youth organization will be having its founding assembly in Chicago on May 18, 2012.
We are reaching a historical stage in the Filipino-American youth movement. A national movement that clearly sees the role of the Filipino youth here in the US as agents of change in our communities and as an integral part to the struggle for genuine liberation and democracy back home in the Philippines.
A decade after the founding of the first Anakbayan chapter in Seattle in 2002, we have spread to the major cities in the US, educating, organizing and mobilizing the Filipino youth to defiantly declare: MAKIBAKA! HUWAG MATAKOT! (join the struggle! don’t be afraid!) against the escalating state repression and economic crisis.
Youth and students leaders from different part of the US will be converging in chicago to participate in this historic founding. See you all there!:)
LUMALAKAS! LUMALAWAK! LUMABALABAN! ANAKBAYAN!
I can’t wait to be part of this historical event! Mabuhay ang kabataan at mga mag-aaral Pilipino! Mabuhay Anakbayan!
