Bringing Street Protest to Cyberspace |
|
| by Manila Indymedia | |
| NEWSBREAK! (28/3/2006) HACKTIVISTS expressing solidarity with the 11 political prisoners known as the Sagada 11 have hacked and defaced the website belonging to the National Defense College of the Philippines. Their website now reads, "We don't need the government, we don't need the military, we need JUSTICE AND LIBERTY for the SAGADA 11!", along with several links encouraging people to show their support.[ Read More ] UPDATES! (26/3/2006) VIRTUAL SIT-IN ends today, says BrigadaElektronica in a message forwarded through emails, the group thanked the participants who corageously joined the direct action that shuts the PNP website down (wednesday March 23). About 1,088 users participated in the action bringing the message FREE SAGADA 11. The group vowed to continue the campaign, saying, "stay tuned for our next target." UPDATES! (24/3/2006) GEOCITIES.YAHOO.COM responded to the ongoing virtual sit-in by blatantly deleting the html pages that had been set-up by BrigadaElektronica and JLI. But the group says "no need to worry," after suggesting cyber protestors to use the mirror sites. UPDATES! (23/3/2006) HACKTIVISTS from USA expressed solidarity with Filipino online activists by hijacking the PNP.GOV.PH "Report a Crime" form with an automated response that let people join the virtual sit-in. [ Read More ]  A GROUP of online activists offered an alternative space to protest after the Philippine Government violently prohibited the streets and freedom parks to exercise public assembly and practice freedom of speech. The online activists calling themselves BrigadaElektronica electronic disturbance group organized an “electronic sit-in”- bringing street protest actions on cyberspace.
Electronic sit-in is a form of electronic civil disobedience deriving its name from the sit-ins popular during the civil rights movement of the 1960s, a virtual sit-in attempts to re-create that same action digitally using a DDoS. During an electronic sit-in, hundreds of activists attempt to access a target website simultaneously and repetitively. If done right, this will cause the target website to run slowly or even collapse entirely, preventing anyone from accessing it. [source: wikipedia] The action officially starts on March 23, 2006 (10:00am Manila time), it will last until the first of April. They are inviting everyone to join and occupy the Philippine National Police website for being a rampant human rights violator.

Sagada11 Solidarity Action Held in Spain |
|
| by Jong Pairez (Indymedia Volunteer) | |
| NEWSBREAK! (3/14/2006) Police authorities asked the Quezon City judge to issue a search warrant for Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) headquarters, late this afternoon. The request for the warrant issue is apparently in connection with inciting to sedition charges that similarly forced a local newspaper to shutdown, last month. [ Read More ] UPDATE! (3/14/2006) Two new articles were included in the opinion column: Beyond the Politics of Representation, the added articles were written as a critique to the previous articles on the current political situation in the Philippines from an autonomist perspective. TAKE NOTE: These articles invite a discourse rather than an ideological reflection. Please take your own risk. [ Discuss ]  BARCELONA, Spain-- Protest Banners were hanged outside the Philippine Embassy, surprising passersby in Barcelona, yesterday (March 13), by a group of unnamed Spanish activists, saying, “Basta de Torturas en las Filipinas (enough torture in the Philippines)” and “11 de Sagada LIBERTAD! (free the Sagada 11!)”
Leaflets were also distributed, informing passersby about the rampant Human Rights violation in the Philippines under the Arroyo Regime. The group of Spanish activists who did a small solidarity action for the unconditional release of Sagada 11, specifically condemned the illegal arrest and violent torture suffered by the eleven young backpackers from the hands of Philippine authorities. Sagada 11 was named after the eleven backpacker punks and FoodNotBombs volunteers including a fifteen-year-old girl illegally arrested and tortured by Philippine Police and Military last month, while hitch-hiking on their way to Sagada mountains to visit a local tourist destination. Sagada 11 were wrongly accused of Homicide and Robbery charges after the authorities failed to arrest the maoist-leftist New Peoples Army who recently attacked a local Military Camp in Benguet. The eleven backpackers are not whatsoever affiliated to any authoritarian Leftists in the Philippines. They are still currently detained.

Beyond the Politics of Representation |
|
| by Manila Indymedia | |
| NEWSBREAK! (3/9/06) Peaceful women demonstrators celebrating International Women’s Day were violently dispersed by Police and illegally arrested a woman leader in Manila, yesterday, despite the lifting of Proclamation 1017. [ Read More | Story ]  WHAT NEXT after the Arroyo Regime is overthrown? Autonomous group of activists and individuals in Manila recently released their views regarding the current political situation in the country, encouraging common people to create an Alternative whom everyone is called upon to participate directly in building their own lives, organizing from below. This outlook negates the Politics of Representation under the program of Transitional Councils and Transitional Revolutionary Government being pushed through by mainstream anti-GMA forces, including the Left and disgruntled Military officers.
Manila Indymedia is featuring these articles collated from its own open-publishing Newswire to share the idea and invite opinions.  Magpapalit ng Rehimen o Magpapalit ng Sistema?"Ginagawang pasibo ng sentralisadong gobyerno ang malawak na mamamayan, sapagkat wala silang akses upang ihayag ang kanilang pampulitikang opinyon at pananaw na may direktang kinalaman sa kanyang aktuwal na gawain. Dahil ang gumagawa nito para sa mamayan ay yung mga kinatawan at mga partido." -Jose Ricardo Tarrida Konpederasyon ng Malayang Istruktura at Pormasyon"Ang mga nagdaang EDSA ay dinamismo ng agawan sa kapangyarihan ng mga elit. Ngunit isa sa hindi maitatangging aral na makukuha sa mga ito ay ang kapangyarihan ng mga mamamayan na lumikha ng pagbabago sa pamamagitan ng direktang partisipasyon." -AID Kolektibo Awtoridad at Karahasan: Pagninilay sa Pampulitikang Sitwasyon sa Pilipinas"Ang distribusyon ng kapangyarihan sa malayang organisasyon ng tao ay hakbang tungo sa pagkawasak ng pampulitikang kapangyarihan na naka-sentralisa lamang sa kamay ng iilan na kumakatawan ng Gubyerno at ng Estado." -KSAI CRITIQUE How Then Do We Go Wild?"KSAI’s open letter and the essay Konpederasyon ng Malalayang Istruktura at Pormasyon! seemed to carry within itself a tendency for providing models, for giving answers, and I saw that as the first step towards moving into politics, toward making our ideas into another ideology in contention with the myriad of other radical political systems." -EarthFirst!Davao Breakaway From Leftism"Hence, it is still a challenge for us today to study, explore, and experiment of what might the indigenous groups can offer to the shaky stand of Philippines anarchist movement." -Autonomist Cell, Mindanao |

State of Emergency in the Philippines |
|
| by Manila Indymedia | |
| UPDATE! (2/28/06) University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City was declared by a council of Professors, Students and Researchers a liberated zone, yesterday; offering physical refuge to those who may be arrested by virtue of the presidential proclamation 1017. The Council also declared the University as "an open space for public debate," and urged President Arroyo to step down. [ Read More | Other Article | Photos ] UPDATE! (2/27/06) A seven-hour drama occurred yesterday night at a Marines headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, when a military officer protested against the sudden relief of their Commandant from his post. This caused a brief hysteria inside the Marine Headquarters that mobilized hundreds of marine soldiers out from their barracks, but would later return back to drop arms. UPDATE! (2/26/06) The National Union of Journalists in the Philippines (NUJP) held a media gathering on Sunday to forge solidarity among journalists in condemning media clampdown under the state of national emergency declared by Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. [ Read ]  MANILA INDYMEDIA-- A local newspaper was closed; peaceful protesters were violently dispersed, mass arrests of political dissent and curtailment of basic democratic rights were indiscriminately violated as President Arroyo proclaimed a State of Emergency yesterday afternoon.
Proclamation no. 1017 is a President’s declaration of State of Emergency that believed to be an order to take a direct totalitarian control to suppress political dissent against the regime. The proclamation was declared during the middle of commemorating the 1986 People Power anniversary after she assessed the national situation, saying that the Left, Right and Center is, "in tactical alliance and engaged in a concerted and systematic conspiracy to bring down the duly constituted government elected in May 2004." President Arroyo was accused of rigging the 2004 elections that maintained her seat of power. She was also the sole authority who raised taxes of basic necessities, assassination of media persons and radical political personalities, cuddles gambling lords, and protects Military Generals who were accused of corruption. These acts of the President foiled unrest among the common masses, rank-in-file military soldiers and junior officers who called upon to oust her regime. Opposition politicians also joined the call to unseat the President from power. Other Articles: A State Of Emergency has been imposed in the Philippines!
