  • The Spatial and Urban Dimensions of Development in the Philippines
    THE SPATIAL AND URBAN DIMENSIONS OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES Ernesto M. Pernia Cayetano W. Paderanga,Jr. Victorina P. Hermoso and Associates Philippine Institute for Development Studies All Rights Reserved PHI LIPPINE INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDI ES, ] 983 ISBN 971-128-008-6 Printed in the Philippines FOREWORD Issues relating to the processes of urbanization, industrialization and spatial development have gained prominence through the years. How- ever, while studies on these areas have contributed to a stimulating discussion of policy questions, these have often been conducted on a piecemeal basis. Noticeably lacking in research efforts especially during the 60s and 70s is an integrative study, defining in a broader perspective, the interrelation- ships among urban growth, industrialization and the space economy. This volume, authored by Ernesto M. Pernia, Cayetano W. Paderanga, Jr., Victorina P. Hermoso and their associates from the University of the Philippines School of Economics, is an integrative study of the interlinked problems of urbanization, industrialization and spatial development. The book attempts to respond to the long felt need for a thorough discussion and analysis of the interrelationships among these three aspects of moder- nization, especially as they have become priority areas of development policy in the 80s. By embarking on this research undertaking, the authors have achieved a milestone in Philippine development research. In particular, their study helps to clear up a number of misconceptions about spatial and urban issues. Likewise, they have clarified certain frequently raised questions, such as: is the level of urbanization too high or too low; is the speed of urbanization too fast or too slow; why have rural and regional development policies failed to keep industries from locating, and population from migrating toward main city centers; how can a more balanced urbanization and regional development conducive to greater efficiency and equity be achieved? And so on.

    UPDATES PHILIPPINES Released by the National Democratic Front of the Philippines Amsterdamsestraatweg 50, 3513AG Utrecht, The Netherlands T: : +31 30 2310431 | E: [email protected] | W: updates.ndfp.org vol i no 14 15 November 2019 EDITORIAL All-out war vs. rights defenders & humanitarian workers President Rodrigo Duterte and his murderous co-conspirators have been unrelenting in their attacks against human rights defenders, political activists, opposition leaders and humanitarian aid workers. Just in the past two weeks, several homes and private offices were attacked by Duterte security forces. Dozens of individuals, including minors, were arrested and detained on spurious charges of illegal possession of firearms and explosives. A human rights defender from southern Philippines has been missing since 2 November. A labor leader was killed south of the capital Manila on 4 November. A radio broadcaster was killed in Negros island on 7 November. On 5 November, the Armed Forces of the Philippines revealed a new list of ’18 communist front organizations’ – a warning that they will be the next targets of intensified repression. Members and officials of activist organizations are constantly subjected to surveillance and death threats. The Duterte government calls its strategy the ‘whole-of-nation approach’ in order to end what it calls ‘the local communist armed conflict’. Instead of resolving the roots of the armed conflict however, it has instead targeted individuals and their groups ‘guilty’ of helping the poor and powerless. Spearheaded by murderous conspirators such as generals Hermogenes Esperon, Delfin Lorenzana, Eduardo Año and Carlito Galvez Jr., this strategy is doomed to fail.

  • 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.
