  • Political Prisoners: Living Evidence of Repression in the Philippines
    POLITICAL PRISONERS: LIVING EVIDENCE OF REPRESSION IN THE PHILIPPINES ~ Canada - Philippines Solidarity for Human Rights Vancouver, B.C. [email protected] http://www.canadaphilippinessolidarity.org/ Canada Philippines Solidarity for Human Rights on Facebook 14 April 2012 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW Political detention is one of the outstanding features of repressive regimes. In Philippine history, political detention and its accompanying evils are hallmarks of colonialism and neo-colonialism in crisis. Political detention continues to be one of the standard responses of the ruling powers to the Filipino people’s struggle for freedom, justice and democracy. Today’s political prisoners belong to the long list of political prisoners throughout the different periods in Philippine history. There were Dr. Jose Rizal and Tandang Sora, both arrested and imprisoned by the Spanish colonial regime (1521-1898); Apolinario Mabini, revered as the “Brains of the Philippine Revolution,” imprisoned during the Filipino- American War and the American Occupation (1898-1941); and the thousands of Filipinos imprisoned and tortured by the Japanese soldiers during the Second World War (1941-1945). The American neo-colonial period (1946 - ) where “liberation” and the “grant of independence” by the Americans came with economic and military treaties designed to perpetuate U.S. presence and domination also saw the rise of the nationalist movement in the mid- 1960s. The most prominent political prisoner then was Amado V. Hernandez, journalist, trade union leader and poet laureate. Under the U.S.-Marcos dictatorship (1965-1986) tens of thousands of men and women were arrested and detained, among whom were Jose Maria Sison, Fidel Agcaoili, Satur Ocampo, Sister Mariani Dimaranan, Benigno Aquino, Crispin “Ka Bel” Beltran and Senator Jose “Ka Pepe” Diokno.

  • Jose Maria Sison and the Philippine Revolution: a Critique of an Interface1
    Jose Maria Sison and the Philippine Revolution: A Critique of an Interface1 P. N. ABINALES On December 26, 1968, Jose Ma. Sison a.k.a Amado Guerrero met with ten of his trusted disciples to establish the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) along the lines of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse-Tung Thought. Since then, Philippine radicalism long thought to be politically dead after the debacle of the Huk Rebellion has experienced a resurgence that was unprecedented in the national context. Much of the CPPs political growth, especially in the crucial initial stages, was largely attributed by many to Sisons leadership. He is said to have guided the revolutionary movement through its baptism of fire under the harsh conditions brought about by martial law. His arrest and nine-year solitary confinement did not break him. Rather, the movement continued to grow despite most of its original leaders death or capture (including Sisons) to become one of the most enduring revolutionary opposition in the country and the region.2 It is this feat that has placed Sison among the ranks of important figures in Philippine politics. Apart from being the founder of the CPP, Sison is regarded by admirers also as teacher and student activist He is the author of Philippine Society and Revolution (PSR), the acclaimed bible of the revolution. During the height of the First Quarter Storm, students were openly declaring their fealty to Amado Guerrero and his revolution. At the University of the Philippines (UP), student activists even renamed one building after the CPP chairman. Revolutionary songs, both serious and jesting, hailed Guerrero as one of the inspirations of the new revolutionary upsurge.3 During the early martial law period, Sison was one of the most wanted political figures by the dictatorship (the others being Kumander Dante and Victor Corpuz), the latter believing that his capture or death would destroy the CPP-ML.4 And in the time of Aquino, he continued to be grudgingly respected both in the positive and negative sense.

  • The Evolution of the European Radical Left - and Some Current Controversies
    The evolution of the European radical left - and some current controversies https://internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?article869 Far Left The evolution of the European radical left - and some current controversies - IV Online magazine - 2005 - IV370 - September 2005 - Publication date: Sunday 25 September 2005 Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine - All rights reserved Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine Page 1/18 The evolution of the European radical left - and some current controversies Introduction The topic being very broad, the following contribution is necessarily schematic and partial. The first three parts are centered on the European experience or, more precisely, the French and Southern European ones. I wish to give here a sense of what the new revolutionary Left has been in Europe in the 1960s-1970s and how different the present European radical Left may be. I shall thus compare two generations of radicals —which, roughly, may correspond to similar generations in the Philippines. In the fourth part, I shall address some of the "burning issues" mentioned in the preparation of this seminar. Rather than starting again from the European framework, I shall look at what we, in Europe, can learn from the Philippine history of struggles. My contribution surely reflects the experience of one generation (that of May 1968, the equivalent in the Philippines of the First Quarter Storm), in a given country (France) and region (Southern Europe). But no one can speak for a whole generation or even for one given political trend. This contribution reflects as well my personal experience. For example, I have been deeply influenced by the Asian revolutions (Vietnam, China, Philippines...), while many of my comrades have been more influenced by those of Latin America.

At first sight much may seem to have happened in the country in the past seven months, but in real terms little has changed in the overall situation and the trend in national politics. Since developments in the past few months are broadly dealt with in Sri Lankan Events, we chose to comment on the state of the media in the country. While there has never been reason for illusion about the neutrality of the media, there is a case for demanding ethical behaviour, about which a sizeable section of the media seems to have no concern. What is particularly worrying about the national media is neither that the media are selective in presenting facts nor that opinion takes precedence over fact but that the media is able to get away with far too many misdeeds. The Island-Divayina group of newspapers has been notorious for its chauvinistic venom and its opposition to the peaceful settlement of the national question. It seems to want a chauvinistic alliance of the UNP, the SLFP and the Hela Urumaya to run this country, and the only good thing that it sees in the JVP is its opposition to the peace process.
