U.S. OUT OF THE PHILIPPINES NOW!
Sun, Sept 29 @ 2 p.m.
Presented by Libros Revolucion ( donation)
Libros Revolucion and Bayan International invite you to come find out why the U.S. is so intent on having its troops planted on Filipino soil, and why in Manila and in front of Philippine Consulates around the world, people are demanding "U.S. Troops Out of the Philippines NOW!"
In June 1898, U.S. troops invaded the Philippines, supposedly as an ally against Spanish colonialism, only to install their own neo-colonization. Now, under the guise of fighting terrorism, the U.S. has stationed more than 1,000 U.S. troops there, as part of their vicious war on the world. And, on Oct. 26, 2002, Balikatan will begin, which is the biggest U.S. deployment since Afghanistan, with 8-12,000 U.S. troops in the Philippines.
On Sept. 29, a Bayan representative will speak about the U.S.' true intentions in the Philippines, and about the continued atrocities they commit, as well as the long history of resistance of the Filipino people.
