  • "Disappearances" in the Philippines
    May 1990 "DISAPPEARANCES" IN THE PHILIPPINES Johnny Salivo, an organizer for the National Federation of Sugar Workers in Negros Occidental, Philippines, disappeared on April 6, 1990 after being abducted by armed men believed linked to the Armed Forces of the Philippines. He is the fourteenth person to have been abducted by agents of the government this year. Seven persons remain missing and three others died while in military custody. Asia Watch is concerned by the growing number of disappearances throughout the Philippines, from rural areas of Bulacan Province to Manila. Most of the victims are members of labor, peasant, or urban poor organizations suspected by the military of being front organizations for the Communist Party of the Philippines or its armed wing, the New People's Army (NPA). Others are suspected NPA combatants of sympathizers. Asia Watch is calling on the Philippine government to conduct full and impartial investigations into all cases of disappearances and to bring those responsible to justice. It welcomes the invitation extended by the Philippines government to the United Nations Working Group on Disappearances in August 1989 to visit the Philippines and urges that everything possible be done to ensure that the visit takes place in 1990. Legal and Institutional Obstacles to Investigating Disappearances A person "disappears" when he or she is abducted or taken into custody by agents of the government who then refuse to acknowledge holding the person in question. Because of the severity of the problems of disappearances during the final years of the Marcos government, human rights lawyers and others made a concerted effort to get legal safeguards established by the Aquino administration which would prevent disappearances from taking place.

  • Philippine-U.S. Security Relations
    Order Code RS20697 October 10, 2000 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Philippine-U.S. Security Relations Larry Niksch Specialist in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary In 1999, the Philippines and the United States reached agreements to revive the security relationship, which had declined following the U.S. withdrawal from military bases in 1992. The two governments concluded a Visiting Forces Agreement that will allow U.S. military personnel to enter the Philippines for joint training and other cooperative activities. The two governments also agreed to formulate a new U.S. military support program for the Philippines. The future of the security relationship will be affected by several issues such as the Philippine-China dispute in the South China Sea, the Muslim insurgency in the southern Philippines, and by the degree of effectiveness of the Philippine’s own defense buildup program. U.S. policy decisions related to these issues will include the size and scope of a military support program, the role of the South China Sea in the U.S. defense commitment to the Philippines, and the scope of U.S. diplomacy concerning the Philippines’ security problems. This report will be updated periodically. Until 1992, the Philippines and the United States had an intimate security relationship based on a 1947 military bases agreement and a 1952 Mutual Defense Treaty. In the treaty, each party promises to “act to meet the common danger” of an armed attack on the other party “in accordance with its constitutional process.” The treaty specifies that an armed attack includes “an armed attack on the metropolitan territory of either of the parties, or on the island territories under its jurisdiction in the Pacific, or on its armed forces, public vessels or aircraft in the Pacific.” The security relationship was frayed in 1991 when the Philippine Senate voted to reject ratification of a new U.S.-Philippines agreement to extend U.S.

The Filipino seafarers engaged in a very active trade and made regular voyages to neighboring countries in Southeast Asia and the Far East.

The system was created under the Letter Directive from the Headquarters of the National Defense Forces on February 22, 1949 to provide protection and security to its forces after World War II and during the height of the anti-dissident campaign.
