LAPU-LAPU CITY, Cebu — Progressive group Bayan Central Visayas has condemned President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s Christmas message, saying it failed to reflect the lived realities of many Filipinos who reportedly continue to face human rights abuses.

But here in Central Visayas, many families are spending the holidays in fear and uncertainty,” part of the statement read.
