Meritage Press Statement

Meritage Press Statement:

Meritage Press is a multidisciplinary press with a strong interest in Filipino arts and literature. On June 9, 2022 in the Philippines, over 90 people—including writers, poets, artists, journalists, cultural workers,  and farmers—were arrested while they engaged in peaceful assembly in support of land reform and farmers in Tarlac. Most were formally charged with obstruction of justice and malicious mischief, with each charge facing a potential sentence of six months imprisonment. Bail amounts were also set at a punishing amount for most of the detainees. The arrested included poet Angelo V. Suarez and his partner, choreographer Donna Miranda. Recently, the charges they faced were expanded to include human trafficking and child exploitation, which reflect how Philippine authorities are using judicial harassment to silence the freedom of expression. (More information is available through PEN-International.)

Poet/conceptual artist Angelo Suarez is known to Meritage Press for his innovative poetry and prose, as well as his strong interest in supporting the unjustly disenfranchised. Author of Philippine English: A Novel (2015); Interview, Ariane: A Stock Epic (2013), and Poem of Diminishing Poeticity (2014), he is among those younger Filipinos working to help fashion a more just society in the Philippines. Meritage Press stands by him and others in the Philippines who have chosen to dedicate themselves to social and land justice and now risk their lives to create a better country for their people. We also urge the National Commission on Culture and the Arts (NCCA) to intervene on behalf of the artists accosted by the police and defend the freedoms of expression, assembly, and association upheld by these artists.
