"Land and abundance to the tillers" is a call to dismantle the centuries-old feudal system that keeps Filipino farmers landless and in perpetual poverty while landlords and corporations hoard resources. It demands genuine agrarian reform, not just token land redistribution, but farmer and indigenous-led control over land, fair wages, and access to resources that ensure sustainable livelihoods.

In Philippines, where farmers grow food yet go hungry, this call asserts that those who cultivate the land must not only own it but also reap its full bounty, free from exploitation and displacement.

Sinigang is a classic comfort food—so why has it become too expensive for many Filipino families? A single serving of sinigang for a family of five, good for just two meals, now costs ₱575. That might not seem like much to some, but for workers earning poverty wages, farmers barely breaking even, and families living paycheck to paycheck, it's an impossible price. The very people who grow the vegetables, catch the fish, and sell the rice, the backbone of the country’s food system, can’t even afford to eat what they produce.

This is why the Philippine labour movement’s call for “Sahod Itaas. Presyo Ibaba.” (Raise Wages. Lower Prices.) is urgent. Skyrocketing food costs, corporate greed, and government neglect have turned hunger into a daily reality. Wages remain stagnant, farmers are forced to sell their harvests for next to nothing, and imported goods flood the markets, making local production unsustainable. The system is rigged—those who feed the nation are left to starve.

Imperialism is a dying beast,
its days numbered by the beat of marching feet,
by the ink of poets,
the calloused hands of workers,
the undying love of rebels in the hills.

Death to the hands that steal and shackle.
Life to the ones who dream and dare.
Life to liberation-
ours to take,
ours to build,
ours to live.

To love is to resist—to hold each other close while tearing down the systems that keep us apart. To fight is to remember—not just the wounds, but the hands that built, the voices that dared, the lives stolen yet never forgotten. To dream is to build the world anew - not in the image of power, but in the vision of those who have bled, struggled, and risen.

Love is not passive, memory is not just looking back, and dreaming is not escape. They are weapons, they are blueprints, they are critical to resistance. They are how we win.

This merch design is inspired by the Ylang-Ylang, a Filipino flower symbolizing love.

This merch design is inspired by the Free Our Sisters, Free Ourselves campaign’s symbol—the butterfly, representing the fight to free political prisoners in the Philippines. These prisoners are activists, workers, and human rights defenders unjustly detained for resisting state violence and exploitation. The butterfly symbolizes resilience, transformation, and the ongoing struggle against political repression.

The design also features the poppy flower, a symbol of Palestinian resistance, honoring those who have fought against occupation and imperialist violence. Together, these symbols weave a narrative of interconnected struggles—against imperialism, occupation, and the continued criminalization of those who dare to resist.

Beyond the Word

"Maarte is my childhood nickname. Everyone in my family calls me Maarte because I'm always too extra about everything. I would not go out without having my hair fixed. I would not wear something that is not ironed. I'd always wear some cheap but nice smelling kid's perfume. My family didn't have much growing up, but my Nanay and Lola always made sure I felt good about myself even as a young kid. I'm Maarte because of them. I'm Maarte because they built my confidence and made sure I know who I am." - Lavlie

Ingat palagi translates to Take care always.

Filipino significance of the word Ingat: “Ingat became the word of goodbye, replacing the old “sige”, during the martial law years. It was the last word uttered between and among those meeting to discuss what had to be done, in ways big and small, to end the Marcos Dictatorship. It was said with all the love and respect one was capable of. Because chances were one would meet again only in a prison cell, or a torture house, or at a wake.” - Ninotchka Rosca

Ingat - a word so thoughtful and endearing that also represents triumph and resistance.

The front left chest design says "Ingatan natin ang isa't isa" which translates to "Let us take care of each other." The back design is a Banig (weave) illustration by Jovie Galit. In this design, “Ingat Palagi” embodies the interconnectedness of community care, the tenderness of caring for one’s self, and the privileges we hold now as Filipinos because of the work of the revolutionaries that came before us.

Beyond the Word

Malakas, Matapang, Palaban—Strong, Fierce, Fighter. These qualities are often tied to masculinity in Filipino culture, with women traditionally expected to be mahinhin—modest and passive. But Filipina women have long defied these narrow expectations. From Gabriela Silang, who led a revolt against Spanish colonizers, to Teresa Magbanua, a revolutionary who fought in all three resistance movements against the Philippines’ major colonizers, Filipinas have shown that strength and bravery are deeply rooted in our history. Filipina women have fought, organized, and led with the same fierceness traditionally reserved for men.

So here’s a reminder to Filipina women and our queer kapatids: we’re strong because we endure, we’re fierce because we resist, and we’re fighters because we never back down from what’s right. These words no longer just belong to men—they belong to us too. Our power has always been there, even when it wasn’t recognized. Now, we’re making sure it’s undeniable.

No True Liberation Without Collective Liberation

True solidarity means committing to the Palestinian people's right to return to their homeland, their right to self-determination, and their right to live free from occupation. When we fight for Palestine, we fight for a world free from imperialism and violence—a world where all oppressed peoples can reclaim their lands, dignity, and futures.

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.

A huge credit and pasasalamat goes to Kira the Oddist for this beautiful design and story. Follow Kira's work @kiratheoddist!

The front design of the tee says, "Palayain ang Palestine," which translates to "Free Palestine" in Tagalog. This declaration is accompanied by the sampaguita, the national flower of the Philippines, and an olive branch, a symbol of roots and resistance for the Palestinian people. These symbols highlight the interconnectedness of the Filipino and Palestinian struggles for justice and liberation while amplifying their shared histories of colonial resistance. 

The back text reads a call to action for all Filipinos:

To take pride in being Filipino is to embrace the struggle for justice and collective liberation. We all have a role to play in the fight against the genocide of the Palestinian people - of any people - from Turtle Island to Palestine to the Philippines. Free Free Palestine!

Beyond the Word

The design and anting-anting (amulet) of this sweater is straightforward. It is an image of a person embracing themselves completely with the words, mahal kita around it. The ambiguity of who this prayer is being said to (is it you, the reader, or you the wearer?) mirrors the deep understanding that unconditional love requires us to acknowledge our wholeness and that of others. For extra support, we have added, “sakto lang, hindi nagkulang” (meaning just right, nothing less) on the inner sleeve specifically for the wearer. We want to remind you that you are made exactly right and nothing about you was ever missing. You have always been whole. 

In this system, we are taught to focus more on our lack. Systems of oppression will amplify our shadows, the parts of ourselves that are made to hide because of fear, shame, rejection, or whatever else so that we can disconnect from our whole sense of being and instead comply with a false source of a higher power.

This is why to say, “mahal kita”, is such a powerful prayer and spell. The Tagalog double meaning of mahal says, I love you, and I value your wholehearted existence in my life. This is why people say love is revolutionary. It liberates and affirms all our authentic ways of being.

Ingat palagi translates to Take care always. The front design reads "Ingatan natin ang Isa't Isa" meaning "let's take care of each other."

"The relaunch of Ingat Palagi by Pinay Collection and Makulay atbp reaffirms our fierce love for queer and trans kin. This new Ingat Palagi (take care always) tee is weaved with the colours of the trans flag. This merch launch highlights the tender love and community care queer and trans people foster among one another in our resistance against ongoing transphobia rooted in colonial and imperial violence.

The weaving pattern, or mga habi, calls us to remember the strong resistance of queer and trans people then and now.

As queer and trans Filipinos in the diaspora, we are privileged to be able to uplift, protect, and take care of ourselves and each other because of the revolutionary and liberatory work of those before us. We honour the babaylans who resisted the Spanish colonization and beyond, including queer and trans revolutionaries, healers and caretakers across nations and cultures who remain unnamed because of colonial erasure.

Today, the spirit of resistance against colonial and imperial violence is fiercely shepherded by queer and trans kababayans back home, as well as the Indigenous, Black and racialized queer liberation movement on Turtle Island and across the world.”

As a young Pina/xy growing up, how many of us have been shamed by talking about our period? How many of us were associated with being mataray, suplada, or maldita just because it's that "time of the month"? How many of us have not learned about safe sex and sexuality at a young age because it's a topic that's deemed shameful? And because talking about our Pekpeks is deemed makasalanan (sinful)?

Reclaiming the word pekpek is recognizing its power, the reason for which we now assert female sexuality and body autonomy—stripping away the shame associated with our bodies. When we say pekpek power (vagina power) we emphasize that the female gender is equally important, capable, and strong. We address it directly to avoid downplaying its significance, ensuring that feelings of guilt don’t hold us back.

Beyond the Word

For this new collection, we’re reclaiming the phrase “Kababaeng Tao” roughly translated as “You’re a woman and yet…”

Kababaeng Tao pero maingay. You’re a woman and yet you’re loud.

Kababaeng Tao pero nakabukaka. You’re a woman and yet you sit with your legs open.

Kababaeng Tao pero pasaway. You’re a woman and yet you just keep breaking the rules.

“Kababaeing Tao” is used to define us and ultimately exclude us, isolating those whom our society has denied the identity of a woman, including our trans and queer kapatids.

"Kababaeng Tao" is wielded as a weapon against our guilt, confining women to a box labeled 'proper', ‘submissive’, and 'nice'. Pinays deserve dignity and respect for who we are, not for conforming to some mold.

But no more. At Pinay Collection, we're committed to reclaiming what's been unjustly taken from us. We're unapologetically devoted to embracing and healing from the wounds inflicted by patriarchal words. We're determined to reclaim the identity we've always defined for ourselves, even if it's been disregarded by those around us. For far too long, the narratives of pina/xys have been dictated by voices other than our own. But now, we declare with conviction: 

Kababae kong tao at marunong akong lumaban. I am a woman and I know how to resist.
