PALABAN Satur has displayed magnificent valor in the face of constant political persecution since he became an activist-journalist in the 1960s. Through the decades, his fight for freedom and justice led him to arbitrary arrests, severe torture and nine years of imprisonment. As a key opposition figure, Ocampo has withstood the government’s sustained brutal political repression against him and his party. These attacks only strengthened Satur’s militancy both in the halls of parliament and in the streets. MAKABAYAN Nationalism is etched in every fiber of Satur’s being. He has selflessly dedicated his entire life to the assertion of national sovereignty and independence from foreign domination and control. Always in the forefront of the Filipinos’ struggle against exploitation, oppression, and marginalization, he believes that true democracy is founded on the interests of the masses and not of the ruling elite. He views Congress as a venue to address the people’s issues – to push for his countrymen’s well-being and to oppose measures that infringe upon their rights. GENUINE LEADER FOR CHANGE Satur has gallantly and consistently demonstrated that “Serve the people” is not just a slogan but a perspective in life. Unlike many politicians who capitalize on their positions to advance their personal interests, he remains unfazed and stays true to his convictions. Satur Ocampo – a true representative of the people
