  • Southern Philippines, February 2011
    Confirms CORI country of origin research and information CORI Country Report Southern Philippines, February 2011 Commissioned by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Division of International Protection. Any views expressed in this paper are those of the author and are not necessarily those of UNHCR. Preface Country of Origin Information (COI) is required within Refugee Status Determination (RSD) to provide objective evidence on conditions in refugee producing countries to support decision making. Quality information about human rights, legal provisions, politics, culture, society, religion and healthcare in countries of origin is essential in establishing whether or not a person’s fear of persecution is well founded. CORI Country Reports are designed to aid decision making within RSD. They are not intended to be general reports on human rights conditions. They serve a specific purpose, collating legally relevant information on conditions in countries of origin, pertinent to the assessment of claims for asylum. Categories of COI included within this report are based on the most common issues arising from asylum applications made by nationals from the southern Philippines, specifically Mindanao, Tawi Tawi, Basilan and Sulu. This report covers events up to 28 February 2011. COI is a specific discipline distinct from academic, journalistic or policy writing, with its own conventions and protocols of professional standards as outlined in international guidance such as The Common EU Guidelines on Processing Country of Origin Information, 2008 and UNHCR, Country of Origin Information: Towards Enhanced International Cooperation, 2004. CORI provides information impartially and objectively, the inclusion of source material in this report does not equate to CORI agreeing with its content or reflect CORI’s position on conditions in a country.

The three men were pronounced dead on arrival at hospital. REUTERS/Dondi Tawatao Duterte’s killer cops BY CLARE BALDWIN AND ANDREW R.C. MARSHALL JUNE 29 – DECEMBER 19 MANILA/ QUEZON CITY 2018 SOPA AWARDS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING 1 DUTERTE’S KILLER COPS Part 1 It was at least an hour, according to resi- dents, before the victims were thrown into a truck and taken to hospital in what a police report said was a bid to save their lives. Old Balara’s chief, the elected head of the district, told Reuters he was perplexed. They were already dead, Allan Franza said, so why take them to hospital? An analysis of crime data from two of Metro Manila’s five police districts and interviews with doctors, law enforcement officials and victims’ families point to one answer: Police Philippine were sending corpses to hospitals to destroy evidence at crime scenes and hide the fact that they were executing drug suspects. police use Thousands of people have been killed since President Rodrigo Duterte took office on June 30 last year and declared war on what he called “the drug menace.” Among them were hospitals to the seven victims from Old Balara who were declared dead on arrival at hospital.

  • “First As Tragedy, Second As Farce”: Marcos, Duterte, and the Communist Parties of the Philippines
    “First as tragedy, second as farce”: Marcos, Duterte, and the Communist Parties of the Philippines Joseph Scalice 26 August 2020 1 / 58 Sison, Facebook, 18-25 Aug 2020 “a pathologically rabid anti- communist and CIA psywar agent posing as an academic Trotskyite.” “futile attempts of Trotskyites abroad (like Joseph Scalice) and in the Philippines to blame the legal democratic forces as well as the revolutionary forces for the rise to power and current criminal rule of the traitorous, tyrannical, genocidal, plundering and swindling Duterte regime.” 2 / 58 “a paid agent of the CIA” 3 / 58 A public declaration Those who are acquainted with my scholarship … know that my historical work is trenchantly critical of the role played by the leadership of the Communist Party of the Philippines and of the various organizations affiliated with its political line. I would thus like to be explicitly clear on this point: I unreservedly defend the party and those associated with it from the attacks carried out against them by the state and by paramilitary and vigilante groups. The murder of Randall Echanis was an attack on the working masses of the Philippines and marked a dramatic step toward police state rule. The defense against the danger of dictatorship requires the unity of the working class for its own independent interests. My opposition to the CPP and its allied groupings is based on the fact that they have consistently opposed the political independence of the working class and have forever sought to subordinate its interests to the formation of an alliance with a section of the ruling elite.
