Revival of US Military Bases in Phl Could Re-ignite Strong Anti-American Protests

MANILA, Philippines (Xinhua) - The seemingly innocuous visit of two American senators to a former US naval base in Central Luzon in the Philippines has stirred a hornets' nest that could revive strong anti-American protests in the country.

MANILA, Philippines (Xinhua) - The seemingly innocuous visit of two American senators to a former US naval base in Central Luzon in the Philippines has stirred a hornets' nest that could revive strong anti-American protests in the country.

What sparked the entire hullabaloo was a highly speculative story in one of Manila's leading dailies that said the visit of US Senators Daniel Inouye and Thad Cochran to the Subic Bay Freeport on Tuesday could be related to Washington's interest to revive its huge naval facility in Subic, now an economic zone.

Aquino Government Should Urgently Address Hunger Problem Instead of Denying It Exists

If the Aquino government really wants to solve the problem of hunger and poverty, it should exercise its “political will” in the right direction: toward defending the rights and interest of the poor majority and the general public.

Aquino Government Should Urgently Address Hunger Problem Instead of Denying It Exists

Every time the incidence of hunger worsened during the previous administration, the Arroyo government used to dismiss the findings of the Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey on hunger as subjective... And now, the Aquino government, which was propelled to power because of its campaign slogan of “change,” is doing the same thing.

OFWs Remain Neglected Under Aquino

MANILA — After nine years of neglect under former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, expectations among overseas Filipino workers were high when the Aquino administration was installed.
Arroyo’s nine year rule left some 7,000 Filipino migrant workers jailed, more than 10,000 stranded in the Middle East alone, 108 in death row and six beheaded. Arroyo’s waning months as president could have provided President Benigno S. Aquino III a bird’s eye view of the hardships that OFWs went through.

Workers Gear Up for More Battles as Aquino Gov't Continues to Favor Big Business

MANILA — In 2010, Filipino workers were treated to glittering promises of change as newly elected President Benigno Aquino III replaced Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in Malacañang. After nearly 10 years of Arroyo’s wage freeze amid economic policies that resulted in continuously rising prices of basic commodities and services, record joblessness, violations of human rights and trade union rights, Aquino’s promises naturally brought hope.

Ignoble

Despite public denials and subdued protestations of acquiescing to China’s will, the Aquino Administration did itself, and the whole nation, a great disservice by snubbing the awarding ceremonies which we had constantly and consistently attended until this year. We have been bullied into not attending the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to detained Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.

When Alfred Bernhard Nobel established the Nobel Prizes through his will written a year before his death on December 10, 1896, they had been intended to be awarded to persons who had been adjudged to “have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind.”

Among those awards, one which is the most prized, is that for Peace.
