AFP Counter-insurgency Appraisal Report for First Quarter of 1988 When Senator and former Defense Secretary Juan Ponce Enrie read from portions of the above secret report in a speech in late July, he touched off a minor firestorm in Manila. His speech and subsequent leaks to the press refuted government statements that it was winning the war against the insur'gency. For one week, the report and rebuttals by defense officials filled the headlines. The following week, Manila's attention turned to its next crisis. What went largely unnoticed, however, were two questions. Why was the report written and who was it intended for? The report was delivered at a closed-door command conference of senior AFP officers in May to jolt the military into rethinking its counter-insurgency strategy' An officer knowledgeable about the report believes that unless the AFP comes up with a new strategy to defeat the communist New People's Army (NPA) in two years, the NPA wiil eventually win.

MILITIA ABUSES IN THE PHILIPPINES* James D. Ross** I. Introduction Under the administration of President Corazon Aquino, Philippine military, police and paramilitary personnel have committed numerous and widespread violations of human rights, including politically-motivated acts of murder and attempted murder, torture and rape. This paper examines one facet of this situation, namely, human rights violations by the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Units (CAFGU), a militia force. Deployed largely since late 1988, the CAFGU is a militia formally attached to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). Under government regulations, CAFGU members are recruited, trained and supervised by regular military personnel and subject to the military code. The CAFGU was instituted to replace the discredited Civilian Home Defense Force, an abusive militia organized by President Marcos.

Lipski The Pennsylvania State University, USA Abstract In bilingual contact environments, personal pronoun systems are relatively impervious to replacement or borrowing. Several Creole languages contain hybrid personal pronoun paradigms, but the language contact environments that resulted in creolization and mixed pronominal systems are no longer in effect, and the mechanisms of pronominal replacement remain unknown. The present analysis is based on data from Zamboangueño Chabacano, a variety of Philippine Creole Spanish that has already undergone at least one set of pronominal replacements in its history, substituting Spanish-derived plural pronouns with pronouns taken from Philippine languages. Due to recent migration, Zamboangueño Chabacano is now in contact with Tagalog, and younger speakers are incorporating the Tagalog second-person singular respect-neutral pronoun ikaw into the Chabacano system. The insertion of ikaw restores the respectful–respect-neutral pronominal distinction originally present in Spanish and found in Philippine languages but lacking in Chabacano. The ease with which a Tagalog pronoun is entering Chabacano is attributed to long-standing popular views that Zamboangueño Chabacano is already a mixed-up language—often regarded as “broken Spanish”—devoid of its own grammar and therefore readily susceptible to any and all intrusions. The use of ikaw as an in-group marker among Zamboangueño youth further aids the addition of the Tagalog pronoun to the Chabacano paradigm.
