YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS -
(FLAG is uploading its most recently updated Primer entitled "Your Human
Rights." This was first produced and disseminated during Martial Law. It was
updated during the declaration by Mrs. Arroyo of a State of Rebellion in
2001; considering Proclamation No. 1017, it is appropriate that this Primer
be as widely disseminated as possible.)

Help that hinders By Arundhati Roy
BECAUSE of globalisation the
distance between decision-makers and those who endure the effects of those
decisions has never been so great (1). Gatherings such as the World Social
Forum allow local activist movements to reduce that distance and get to know
their counterparts from wealthier countries. When the first private dam was
built, at Maheshawar, links between the Narmada Bachao Andolan, the
organisation Urgewald (Germany), the Berne Declaration (Switzerland) and the
International Rivers Network (Berkeley, US) made it possible to divert many
banks and international companies from the project. That would not have been
possible without solid local resistance and international support to allow the
local voice to be heard globally, which led to investors withdrawing from the
project.(Nov 23 2004)

The Philippine Fiscal Crisis and the Neo-Colonial State
by Dr. Edberto M. Villegas
The fiscal crisis that the Philippine government is presently
undergoing is the worst ever in the history of the country, and is caused by
its own doing. And yet the government would pass the burden of solving this
crisis to the people, with increases in taxes and prices like those for
electric power and petroleum. It has even put up a so-called Bayanihan Fund so
that ordinary citizens can contribute their shares for the government to
weather the storm. (Oct 19th 2004)
Book Review By Edberto M. Villegas - Jose Maria
Sison:At Home in the World, is not just a book about a person but a treatise
on the world situation and a philosophy of life. Written in a vivid and biting
style, in the tradition of the great revolutionary essayists like Lenin and
Mao-tse-tung , it is both a comprehensive critique of imperialism and an
affirmation of the life of a revolutionary.

ANG
KASAYSAYAN AT PAKIKIBAKA NG MARALITA SA KALAKHANG MAYNILA, 1900-2000" (The History and Struggle of the Poor in Metro Manila, 1900-2000),
a pioneering study recently completed by University of the Philippines
professors -- by Roland G. Simbulan. It focuses on the history and struggles of the most
marginalized but largest sectors of the urban poor in Metro Manila (workers,
urban poor squatters, prostituted women). It gives us an idea why rebellion
cannot be solved by military means and the structural reasons for poverty. It
is in Pilipino, and I am sure that Filipinos here as well as those 4 million
Filipinos overseas would want to have a glimpse of it.
