  • Abu Sayyaf: Target of Philippine-U.S. Anti-Terrorism Cooperation
    Order Code RL31265 Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Abu Sayyaf: Target of Philippine-U.S. Anti-Terrorism Cooperation Updated April 8, 2003 Larry Niksch Specialist in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Abu Sayyaf: Target of Philippine-U.S. Anti-Terrorism Cooperation Summary From January 2002 until July 31, 2002, the United States committed nearly 1,300 troops to the Philippines and $93 million in military aid to assist Philippine armed forces (AFP) in operations against the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group in the southern Philippines. The U.S. action, dubbed Operation Balikatan, partly was in response to Philippine President Arroyo’s strong support of the United States following the September 11 al Qaeda attack on the United States. A historic Muslim resistance to non-Muslim rulers broke out into massive rebellion in the 1970s. Two large resistance groups, a Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and a Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) fought the Philippine government into the 1990s and entered into tenuous truces in 1996 and 2001 respectively. Abu Sayyaf emerged in 1990 as a splinter group composed of former MNLF fighters and Filipinos who had fought in Afghanistan. Abu Sayyaf resorted to terrorist tactics, including kidnapings, executions of civilians, and bombings. As Operation Balikatan began, Abu Sayyaf continued to hold two Americans, a missionary couple, the Burnhams. Abu Sayyaf had links with Osamu bin Laden’s al Qaeda organization in the early 1990s, but Philippine officials have given conflicting assessments of current links. U.S. officials asserted that there is evidence of links between Abu Sayyaf and terrorist groups.

Santos, Jr. and Paz Verdades M. Santos and Paz Verdades Soliman M. Santos, Jr. Primed and Purposeful: Armed Groups and Human Security Efforts in the Philippines pro- vides the political and historical detail necessary to understand the motivations and probable outcomes of conflicts in the country. The volume explores related human security issues, including the willingness of several Filipino armed groups to negotiate political settlements to the conflicts, and to contemplate the demobilization and reintegration of combatants into civilian life. Light is also shed on the use of small arms—the weapons of choice for armed groups—whose availability is maintained through leakage from government arsenals, porous borders, a thriving domestic craft industry, and a lax regulatory regime. —David Petrasek, Author, Ends and Means: Human Rights Approaches to Armed Groups (International Council on Human Rights Policy, 2000) At the centre of this book are the ‘primed and purposeful’ protagonists of the Philippines’ two major internal armed conflicts: the nationwide Communist insurgency and the Moro insurgency in the Muslim part of Mindanao.

Casumbal Thesis Committee: Michael Shapiro, Chairperson Kathy Ferguson S. Charusheela ©2004 Melisa S.L. Casumbal All rights reserved. 111 Carmelita San Luis Casumbal Roberto Reyes Casumbal IV ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sa aking mga ninuno - ako ay nagpupugay at nagpapasalamat. My deep admiration, respect and gratitude extend foremost to the professors on my thesis committee whose pedagogies, scholarship, mentoring, good humor, and radical politics have inspired me to continue pursuit ofa career in the academy, despite my better judgement. I am especially grateful to my committee chair, Michael Shapiro, for not only apprehending, but modeling, my weirdly discipline-transgressing interests, and for the consistency and generosity ofhis support. I am also deeply grateful to the more officially transdisciplinary (double-burdened) Women's Studies scholars on my committee, Kathy Ferguson and S. Charusheela. I thank them both for modeling feminist women kicking ass in what remain intensely masculinist fields (political science and economics, respectively). I owe a special debt to Cham, who pushed me in exactly the direction I needed to go at exactly the right time. Thank you, also, to the other professors whose formidable intellect and charm I have so greatly benefited from during my time at UH: Noenoe Silva, Nevi Soguk, Sankaran Krishna, Jon Goldberg-Hiller, Barbara Andaya, Ric Trimillos, Lindy Aquino, Ruth Mabanglo, Imelda Gasmen, and Sheila Zamar.

  • The Republic of the Philippines and U.S. Interests
    The Republic of the Philippines and U.S. Interests Thomas Lum Specialist in Asian Affairs April 5, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33233 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Republic of the Philippines and U.S. Interests Summary The United States and the Republic of the Philippines maintain close ties stemming from the U.S. colonial period (1898-1946), the bilateral security alliance, extensive military cooperation, and common strategic and economic interests. Although the United States closed its military bases in the Philippines in 1992, the two treaty allies have continued joint military activities related to counterterrorism and maritime security. The bilateral security relationship has gained prominence as a key link in the evolving U.S. foreign policy “pivot” or “rebalancing” toward Asia, and the two sides are discussing bolstering U.S. access to Philippine military facilities. On November 16, 2011, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Philippine Secretary of Foreign Affairs Albert F. del Rosario signed the “Manila Declaration,” which reaffirmed the bilateral security relationship and called for multilateral talks to resolve maritime disputes in the region. Broad U.S. policy objectives include the following: maintaining the U.S.-Philippine alliance; enhancing security and stability in the South China Sea; assisting the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in counterterrorism, maritime, modernization, and administrative reform efforts; supporting the peace process in Muslim areas of Mindanao; promoting broad-based economic growth; and helping the Philippines to develop more stable and responsive democratic institutions. The U.S. Congress has placed conditions upon a portion of U.S.
