Centralized support funds are at risk of being restricted, either by financial laws or by transfer limits. As such, decentralizing these detainee support funds would make supporting the Mendiola detainees more resilient in the long term.

We stress that we do NOT want to centralize financial support for the Mendiola detainees. If you are already supporting detainees whose supporters you trust and verify, please continue to support them and feel free to post a comment of their fundraiser in our post.

We are renewing our call for donations to support existing detainees, ex-detainees, and their families. Our priorities for support are young people, disabled folks, and the marginalized who do not have their own capacity to raise funds for bail and other forms of support.

[UPDATE 26 September 2025, 12:00PM]
Some of the illegally detained minors, like Jasper (pictured), have been released. Among the estimated 277 people that were arrested last September 21, many are still detained, including some minors.

ABOLISYON! @abolisyon.bsky.social · 13d

[UPDATE 26 September 2025, 12:00PM]

Pinalaya na ang ilan sa mga illegally detained na menor de edad gaya ni Jasper na nasa larawang ito. Sa tinatayang bilang na ~277 na inaresto noong September 21, marami pa din ang 'di pa pinapalaya, kabilang ang ilang mga menor de edad.

May posibilidad din na "no bail" ang mga ikaso sa kanila. Wala pang linaw hangga't hindi pa sila nakakasuhan ng mga pulis.

Sa ngayon, waiting pa tayo sa inquest dahil walang pasok ang gobyerno ngayon dahil sa bagyo. Dun namin inaasahan ang malaking gastos sa pyansa (bail) na sa estima namin ayon sa mga kausap na abogado na papatak ng P300k kada isang dinakip.

200 people were arrested protesting the corrupt government of Philippines, including 50 minors, and they need legal funds. I have it on good authority that this account is legit, and if you donate, it will directly help the protesters.
