If you haven't heard, 825+ people have been killed in the Philippines
since 2001. Witnesses have pointed to elements of the Armed Forces of
the Philippines in carrying out these killings. And yet not ONE person
has been tried or convicted for any of these deaths. President
Arroyo's government has done nothing to stop to these atrocities.
For us living in the U.S.A. it's a little sticky. The U.S. government
has been providing excessive amounts of military assistance to the
Philippine government. Reports from the Library of US Congress state
that the total U.S. military assistance to the Philippines rose from
$38 million in 2001 to $114 million in 2003 and a projected $164
million in 2005. That's our tax dollars potentially subsidizing death
squads of the Philippine military at the cost of the Filipino people.
Come out to the show to learn a bit more about the issue and find out
how you can get involved. (Oh, and don't forget to pass the word
