Comparative Connections a Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations
Comparative Connections A Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations US-Southeast Asia Relations: Philippines – An Exemplar of the US Rebalance Sheldon Simon Arizona State University The Philippines under President Benigno Aquino III has linked its military modernization and overall external defense to the US rebalance. Washington has raised its annual military assistance by two-thirds to $50 million and is providing surplus military equipment. To further cement the relationship, Philippine and US defense officials announced that the two countries would negotiate a new “framework agreement” under the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty providing for greater access by US forces to Philippine bases and the positioning of equipment at these facilities. Washington is also stepping up participation in ASEAN-based security organizations, sending forces in June to an 18-nation ASEAN Defense Ministers Plus exercise covering military medicine and humanitarian assistance in Brunei. A July visit to Washington by Vietnam’s President Truong Tan Sang resulted in a US-Vietnam Comprehensive Partnership, actually seen as a step below the Strategic Partnerships Hanoi has negotiated with several other countries. Myanmar’s president came to Washington in May, the first visit by the country’s head of state since 1966. An economic agreement was the chief deliverable. While President Obama praised Myanmar’s democratic progress, he also expressed concern about increased sectarian violence that the government seems unable (or unwilling) to bring under control. The rebalance and the Philippines While the Obama administration’s foreign and defense policies’ rebalance to Asia is portrayed as a “whole of government” endeavor, involving civilian as well as security agencies, its military components have received the most attention, especially in Southeast Asia.

Despite supposedly improving economic statistics, the majority of the people are still mired in poverty reeling from high prices of basic commodities and services, unemployment, unlivable wages, sham land reform, inadequate housing and so on. Even its much touted campaign against poverty is under question as more cases of corruption by people from the Aquino administration surface. No hope can be pinned on this president whose government fails to lighten and instead adds to the burden that the people, especially from the basic sectors, endure. Noynoy Aquino’s reckless implementation of privatization, liberalization, deregulation and denationalization, all earmarks of neoliberal globalization, proves his puppetry to U.S. imperialism. Just like Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Aquino has been anointed to be the U.S. lackey in Asia especially in its current “pivot to Asia-Pacific.” In exchange for Obama’s pat on the head and American military aid, Malacanang welcomes stronger U.S.

Timeline of Search for Jonas
TIMELINE: JONAS BURGOS ABDUCTION April 28, 2007 Jonas Burgos was abducted at about 1:30 pm by 4 armed men and a woman in civilian clothes while having lunch at the Hapag Kainan Restaurant in Ever Gotesco Mall, Quezon City. He was alone and unarmed. A waitress who saw the forcible abduction positively identified Jonas from a picture shown to her. Jonas is a farmer who manages the family organic farm in Bulacan. Jonas has been giving technical training to members of the Alyansang Magbubukid ng Bulacan (Peasant Alliance of Bulacan), a local chapter of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP or Peasant Movement of the Phillipines), since 1999. the Philippine government and the Armed Forces of the Philippines have labeled the KMP a “front” organization for the Communist Party of the Philippines. May 2, 2007 Larry Marquez, a security guard on duty at Ever Gotesco Shopping Mall, from where Jonas was abducted, told police that Burgos was dragged by the suspects to a maroon Toyota Revo with plate number TAB 194, as Burgos shouted for help. May 2, 2007 The Burgos family files a missing person complaint with the Phillipine National Police (PNP). May 4, 2007 In an investigation by the Philippine National Police (PNP), and through the efforts of the family, the license plate number was traced to a vehicle that was in the custody of the 56th Infantry Battalion of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in Bulacan that was impounded from illegal loggers on June 24, 2006. Senior Supt. Joel Coronel, who led the police investigation, was relieved from his post shortly after he traced the vehicle in Burgos’s abduction to the Army.

MULTI-SECTORAL HUMAN RIGHTS TRAINING HANDBOOK Community-based Dialogue Sessions on Human Rights Promotion and Protection Project This project is a collaboration among the: Armed Forces of the Philippines (through the Human Rights Office [AFP HRO] and Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Civil Military Operations[J7] ) Philippine National Police (through the Human Rights Affairs Office[PNP HRAO] ) Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation (NCAF) Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines (CHRP) Philippine Alliance of Human Rights Advocates (PAHRA) and the Alternative Law Groups (ALG) The project is supported by the Hanns Seidel Foundation of Germany (HSF). MESSAGE The recent discourse on human rights appears to divide many Filipinos who are frustrated with pervasive failures in law enforcement as well as the justice system. It is a greater challenge for civil society to draw as much support among disillusioned citizens and even public servants, who regard human rights promotion and protection as a frivolous ideal rather than a practical solution; thus, the groundbreaking project, Community- based Dialogue Sessions as well as one of its resulting initiatives, the Multisectoral Human Rights Training Handbook is a welcome development.
