The design's baybayin writing translates to Free Palestine.

This design draws its inspiration from the story of the Palestinian crocodile extinction, a tale steeped in colonial violence, exploitation, and dispossession. According to an article from the Institute for Palestine Studies, the extinction of these crocodiles is deeply entangled with the brutal histories of colonial resource extraction, racialized labour exploitation, and the displacement of indigenous populations. The last known Palestinian crocodile's demise, officially marked in 1935 by a Zionist zoologist, symbolizes the destructive impact of colonialism on both human and non-human life.

This Palestinian narrative resonates deeply with the Tapar revolution in Iloilo, Philippines. During this uprising, Spanish colonizers executed Babaylans—gender fluid Indigenous spiritual leaders—and desecrated their bodies by feeding them to crocodiles, an act intended to mock and undermine Indigenous reverence for these creatures. By featuring the crocodile on this t-shirt, we honour the intertwined struggles against colonial oppression, standing in solidarity with all who resist erasure and fight for liberation.
