Episode Details

Baltimore activist Christina Pasion, 27, is detained in the Philippines after being arrested alongside local organizer Binay Serrano—allegedly while seeking medical care. The Philippine government accuses them of ties to the New People’s Army, but Pasion’s family and advocates fiercely deny it. Her wife, Vivian, has been by her side for over a decade and is pleading for her return. This case highlights ongoing human rights abuses under President Marcos Jr., including unchecked arrests. U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen’s office is coordinating with the State Department, following a similar release last year for Marylander Chantal Anicoche. Advocates are rallying through protests, letter campaigns, and a solidarity supper to demand Pasion’s freedom as legal teams work tirelessly to secure her release.
