The AJLPP will picket Macapagal-Arroyo's presence in Los Angeles to underscore the fact that the US war on Terror is causing misery and terror in the Philippines with more than 1,200 activists killed, more than 200 people jailed and with another 200 people declared missing.

PGMA- US Puppet Par Excellence

Last year, Macapagal-Arroyo in anticipation of the passage of the Filipino Veterans Equity bill and in order to grab the credit from real activists in the US, subserviently conferred the Philippines' highest awards to some congressional leaders in expectation of the passing of the Filipino Veterans Equity Bill. It did not pass and the promised benefits were removed from SB 1315.

PGMA is on here way to attend the APEC meeting is Lima Peru from Nov, 22-23. She has been on an extravagant galivanting all over the world with her retinue of lackeys,
