  1. ILPS Philippine Chapter General Assembly “ADVANCE THE PEOPLE’S STRUGGLE AGAINST IMPERIALIST WAR AND PLUNDER”

  2. Message of Solidarity to the ILPS Philippine Chapter • Second General Assembly • Prof. Jose Ma. Sison • Chairman, International Coordinating Committee • International League of Peoples’ Struggle • 18 August 2006

  3. The ILPS Philippine Chapter is the very first national chapter of the ILPS. The First National Chapter of ILPS Established Report on the Founding Assembly of the ILPS Philippine Chapter Forty-five out of forty-seven Founding Member-organizations, 45 Observer-mass organizations and 53 local and foreign guests, and 33 organizers, staff members and volunteers, comprised the Founding Assembly of the Philippine Chapter of the International League of Peoples' Struggle which was held August 1, 2002. A total of 220 people attended said event. Held at the Environmental Education Center of Miriam College, Quezon City, the Founding Assembly carried the theme, Rally the Filipino to the anti-imperialist struggle! Unite with the peoples of the world to defeat US-led wars of aggression and intervention! The establishment of the ILPS Philippine Chapter came after a series of organizational meetings held among the representatives of majority of the founding member-organizations that attended the First International Assembly of the ILPS in Zutphen, Netherlands…

  4. “During the past four years, you have contributed greatly and significantly in introducing and projecting the ILPS as the rallying point of the militant anti-imperialist struggle.”

  5. “…you have raised and enthusiastically waved the banner of the ILPS in promoting the peoples’ interest…”

  6. Performing a major role in leading workshops during the ILPS Second International Assembly • Performing key roles in launching and holding regional and international conferences on the different ILPS concerns (Workers, Peasants, Women, Youth, Health, the Campaign against US military bases, etc) • Participating in ILPS conferences abroad (Mumbai Resistance 2004, “Towards a Just and Lasting Peace Conference” – Vancouver 2006, Conference on Debt, Jakarta 2006)

  7. Performing the key role in holding the HK People’s Action Week against the WTO • Celebrating the Bandung Conference in Indonesia

  8. Protest actions on different national and international issues like the US war of aggression, defense of the rights of the chairman of the ILPS International Coordinating Committee and other democratic forces, opposition to the arrest and detention of Memik Horuz and Ka Crispin Beltran.

  9. Participation of several ILPS Philippine Chapter member-organizations in international conferences and fora (WSF 2004; Asian social Forum – 2003; Now We the People, Australia 2003, 2005; All-Cuba Conference – Chennai 2005, etc)

  10. The success achieved there, as in your other activities, springs from the objective analysis of different issues according to the general line of the ILPS of militant anti-imperialist and pro-people struggle, particularization and implementation of apt and effective forms of protest and other actions, correct tactics in strengthening our forces and building a united front in consonance with the proper identification of friends, and enemies, and the usually enthusiastic and lively but efficient and effective style of work.

  11. Your past actions and the successes you have attained manifest the correctness and effectiveness of building the ILPS national chapter to greatly advance the anti-imperialist and democratic line of struggle, and the need for and suitability of building national and regional formations to primarily serve as centers of coordination for the ILPS member-organizations in one country or region.

  12. The international situation is most favorable, the Philippine situation as well, for strengthening and expanding the ILPS to advance the peoples’ anti-imperialist and democratic line.

  13. We must never relax in struggling against the tightening noose of exploitation by monopoly capitalism under the “neo-liberal globalization” policy, against the imposition of repression or state terrorism on the people, and against imperialist aggression and intervention in the name of “war on terror.”

  14. Just recently, the WTO Doha Round finally collapsed, clearly exposing the emptiness of the promotion of Doha Round proposals purportedly “for Third World development.”

  15. However, the imperialist powers still maintains an arsenal of many ways to impose on much weaker countries the “neo-liberal” policies of deregulation, liberalization, privatization and denationalization. Hence, we have to enhance further the unity of the people and the fight against these policies.

  16. All over the world the imperialist war of aggression and military intervention continues to be exposed as the people fight against it, especially the evil “war on terror” of US imperialism and its willing followers, like Britain and Zionist Israel.

  17. Similarly, the Macapagal-Arroyo regime is fast being exposed and isolated not only in the Philippines but also in the whole world because of its evil and relentless killing of hundreds of innocent civilians, especially progressive leaders and mass activists.

  18. The ILPS decided to call for simultaneous protest actions in the different countries worldwide against state repression in the Philippines, based on the resolution you submitted for support of the campaign to stop the political killings that the US-Arroyo regime perpetrates.

  19. The ICC has decided to be one of the sponsors of the Regional Conference on US Militarism and War on Terror in Asia-Pacific and launch the Regional Campaign against US Bases in Asia-Pacific.

  20. The ICC is fully confident that you can hold these conferences successfully, as well as the planned big protest actions like the People’s Caravans in connection with the ASEAN Summit this coming December 2006. We also hope for the successful launching of the ILPS East Asia Consultative Conference in December towards the establishment of the ILPS East Asia Coordinating Committee.

  21. We are hoping as well that you can give due attention to the calls on making the study commissions work, considering that a majority are led by member-organizations of the ILPS Philippine Chapter. We in the ICC always trust that you will further strengthen your ranks and effectively use various means to gather resources for the struggle.

  22. CONSOLIDATE AND EXPAND THE ILPS!

  23. ADVANCE THE PEOPLE’S STRUGGLE AGAINST IMPERIALIST WAR AND PLUNDER IN THE PHILIPPINES, IN THE EAST-ASIA REGION AND OCEANIA, AND THE WHOLE WORLD!

  24. LONG LIVE THE PEOPLES OF THE PHILIPPINES AND THE WORLD!
