This article is about the political group. For television show, see Sanlakas Kids.
Sanlakas is a party-list organization in the Philippines. It is a progressive coalition of different marginalized sectors in the Philippines founded on October 29, 1993.[1]
Known as an activist political party, Sanlakas constantly figures in protest actions against certain policies of the government like the Electric Power Industry Reform Act,[10] the Cybercrime Prevention Act,[11] the Mining Act of 1995,[12] among others.
Sanlakas was also a petitioner in several cases in the Supreme Court of the Philippines against Philippine laws and policies they deem detrimental to the welfare of the Filipino people like the Oil Deregulation Law,[13] and the declaration of a State of Rebellion during the time of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.[14]
Among the victims of the serial killings of political activists in the Philippines, during the Arroyo administration, are Sanlakas members like trade unionist Andrew Inoza,[15] peasant leader Frank Labial,[16] and revolutionary socialist Filemon Lagman. Lagman, one of the founders[17] of Sanlakas, is considered as the first prominent victim of political assassination under the presidency of Gloria Arroyo.[18]
The Philippine Commission on Elections (COMELEC) accredited Sanlakas for the 2013 party-list elections after being delisted earlier due to their failure to participate in the 2010 elections.[20]
