Q & A

  • What are the key objectives of the mission report on terrorism in the Philippines?

    -The key objectives are to describe the emergence of insurgents and terrorism in the Philippines, associate their causes with cultural and religious aspects, and explore the Philippine government's initiatives to counter terrorism and address insurgency.

  • What historical events have influenced the cultural and religious divisions in the Philippines?

    -The Philippines was colonized by Spain from the 16th to the 19th century, which imposed Christianity on the population, while the Moro people in the southern islands (Mindanao) maintained their Islamic faith due to trade with Arabs. The USA also introduced a government system in the early 20th century, leading to the marginalization of Muslims and indigenous people.

  • What are the two main Muslim insurgent groups in the Philippines, and how do they differ?

    -The two main Muslim insurgent groups are the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). The MNLF was established to fight for an independent Moro nation, while the MILF broke away from the MNLF to pursue a more Islamic-focused agenda.

  • What is the relationship between the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and the New People’s Army (NPA)?

    -The CPP, founded by Jose Maria Sison, is a political revolutionary movement that advocates for national democracy through a two-stage revolution. The NPA is its guerrilla military wing, established to wage war against landlords and foreign companies, and is part of the CPP's broader political strategy.

  • How has the Philippine government labeled the CPP-NPA and its affiliated organizations?

    -The CPP-NPA has been labeled as a terrorist organization by the US government and the European Union. Although the Philippine government has not made a formal decision, it often treats the CPP-NPA as such, considering its members and some legal leftist organizations as enemies of the state.

  • What was the significance of the Jakarta Accord signed in 1996?

    -The Jakarta Accord brokered peace between the MNLF and the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) in 1996. It granted autonomy to Muslim areas in Mindanao, leading to the establishment of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). However, some viewed this accord as a failure, including members of the MILF.

  • How has land ownership been a source of tension and conflict in the Philippines?

    -Land ownership is a contentious issue, especially in Mindanao, where rural land is a primary source of income for many. Agrarian reforms have faced resistance from landowners, leading to prolonged conflicts and contributing to insurgencies, as land rights are a major grievance among marginalized groups.

  • How do groups like the MNLF and MILF distance themselves from extremist groups like Abu Sayyaf?

    -Both the MNLF and MILF have publicly distanced themselves from extremist groups like Abu Sayyaf. They claim to be focused on political goals and peaceful negotiations, while Abu Sayyaf is involved in criminal activities and terrorism, often driven by profit rather than ideology.

  • What is the role of the Philippine military (AFP) in combating insurgency and terrorism?

    -The AFP plays a central role in combating insurgency and terrorism in the Philippines. It has targeted groups like the CPP-NPA, MNLF, MILF, and Abu Sayyaf, but its approach has been criticized for labeling legal leftist organizations as enemies of the state, which has led to human rights concerns.

  • What challenges does the Philippine government face in distinguishing between peaceful and armed groups?

    -The government struggles to differentiate between peaceful organizations that share similar ideologies with insurgent groups and armed groups that use violence. This difficulty in distinction often results in peaceful organizations being labeled as terrorist-affiliated, contributing to human rights violations and political suppression.

play00:08

history of terrorism in the philippines

play00:11

so it is an international

play00:12

mission report

play00:14

according here to the objectives we are

play00:16

going to learn about

play00:18

describing the emergence of insurgents

play00:20

and terrorism in the philippines

play00:22

associate their reason with cultural and

play00:24

of course religious aspects

play00:27

explore the various initiatives of the

play00:28

philippine government to counter

play00:30

terrorism and address insurgency

play00:33

so first mona general context monaco

play00:36

okay

play00:37

so general context saudi philippines of

play00:39

course

play00:40

it is located in saudi saudis

play00:43

the republic of the philippines

play00:45

comprised of

play00:46

717 islands

play00:48

which are commonly divided in three

play00:50

groups we have luzon visayas and

play00:51

mindanao the capital cities of course

play00:53

manila and lausanne is located in the

play00:56

zone so philippines is the 12th most

play00:58

populated in the world

play01:01

with 96 million habitants

play01:03

[Music]

play01:05

almost more than 100 other it is also

play01:08

the fourth largest catholic nation with

play01:10

about 80 percent of christians whereas

play01:12

muslims

play01:14

form a minority

play01:15

throughout the country approximately

play01:17

five percent

play01:19

so the rest of the population is made up

play01:20

of mostly

play01:22

the smaller christian denomination as

play01:23

well as indigenous people part of our

play01:26

enemies

play01:29

so

play01:31

before its independence in 1946 the

play01:34

country was successfully dominated by

play01:36

spanish in 16

play01:38

to 19th century and by the united states

play01:41

of america in 1898 and 1946

play01:45

so before spanish criminalization

play01:47

bhaglian far and inhabitants your

play01:50

enemies

play01:51

while part where muslims

play01:53

as a result of trade with arabs

play01:56

spanish realization imposed christianity

play01:58

upon the country

play02:00

and the muslims will hold moros

play02:03

today bangsamoro or the moro people

play02:06

are mainly settled in south southern

play02:08

islands in mindanao mainly basilan sulu

play02:11

tawitawi

play02:13

and palawan

play02:14

they were never colonized neither by

play02:16

spain

play02:17

nor by the usa

play02:19

which introduced a system of government

play02:20

that was criticized for leading to the

play02:22

minerization and marginalization of the

play02:24

morris and indigenous people in mindanao

play02:28

so the ancestral domain of morris an

play02:30

indigenous people was declared a public

play02:32

land

play02:33

this is an issue still bearing

play02:35

consequences today the

play02:37

indigenous people's claims and central

play02:38

domains being still not recognized

play02:41

so when independence was declared on

play02:44

july 4 1946 the republic of the

play02:46

philippines was established it comprised

play02:49

lausanne visayas mindanao

play02:51

so the more us reiterated

play02:53

their objections but mindanao was

play02:55

nevertheless incorporated under the

play02:57

republic

play02:58

from the independence onwards

play03:01

muslim and indigenous people have been

play03:03

complaining they are marginalized

play03:05

politically and economically except for

play03:08

a few rich families

play03:10

the philippine counts

play03:12

natural resources comprising oil timber

play03:15

nickel

play03:17

silver and gold in addition its soils is

play03:19

rich and fertile or very clear but land

play03:22

in europe has been still a controversial

play03:25

issue across history

play03:29

territorial philippines of course there

play03:32

is also a controversy here

play03:35

territory in orlando

play03:37

in mindanao especially specifically

play03:40

about how the population in rural and

play03:43

agricultural is a primary and often only

play03:45

source of income for rural people

play03:48

whereas important land is on the power

play03:50

for landlords and agrarian reform is

play03:53

going and should end in 2008 but

play03:55

concrete implementation is extremely

play03:57

protracted because of land owners

play04:00

resistance and this generates frequent

play04:02

tensions

play04:04

so that's agavan lupa and the camera

play04:06

intention and the attention

play04:08

probably had cost to

play04:10

terrorism okay so

play04:12

the

play04:22

the philippines was established

play04:24

in 1968 by jose maria son

play04:30

a professor at the university of the

play04:32

philippines cbp adopted a strategy based

play04:34

on the struggle for national democracy

play04:37

through a two-stage revolution

play04:40

a protracted people were to be followed

play04:43

by socialist revolution one year later

play04:46

the npa was organized as the guerilla

play04:48

military wing of the party to wage tour

play04:52

to wage a peace and worker regulation

play04:54

war

play04:55

in the country against landlords and

play04:57

foreign companies

play05:00

cpp heads the national democratic plans

play05:02

of the philippines or ndfp

play05:05

which is the political democratic

play05:07

democratic arm of cppa

play05:10

it is estimated that the guerrilla army

play05:13

of cb cpp

play05:15

now consists

play05:16

of about 10 000

play05:18

persons

play05:22

so cppnp has been labeled as terrorist

play05:25

organic organizations by us government

play05:28

and by the european union the eu council

play05:32

the philippine government has not made a

play05:33

formal decision pacifying

play05:36

in pay as terrorist group but it often

play05:38

considered it as such

play05:40

cpp and pay or ndfv

play05:42

sees itself as a as a broad political

play05:45

revolutionary and liberation movement

play05:47

and claims it does not attack civilian

play05:50

targets and it adheres to international

play05:52

law

play05:55

okay so npre burlesque claim claimed

play05:58

responsibility for as an assassination

play06:00

of two congressmen in may 2001 whom it

play06:03

considered as legitimate targets

play06:07

so former cpp chair dolphosalas

play06:10

acknowledged that in 1980s internal

play06:12

purge of persons suspected to be

play06:14

government and

play06:16

army infiltrators within cpp resulted in

play06:19

torture execution or about

play06:22

1 800 cadres and civilians this pack is

play06:25

still used by the government and by the

play06:27

country and by the army to attribute the

play06:30

responsibility of current judicial

play06:32

killing to cpp

play06:35

so there are these indeed peace

play06:37

peace airports to the end

play06:39

to end the armed conflict between

play06:41

government the philippines and the npa

play06:43

had been

play06:44

ongoing for almost 21 years but stalled

play06:47

in 2004

play06:48

on june

play06:50

okay on june 16 2006

play06:54

president gloria macapagal arroyo

play06:56

declared that all art war against npa

play06:59

however on september 5 2007

play07:02

she signed conditional to the respect

play07:05

of certain idea an amnesty proclamation

play07:08

to the executive only

play07:10

after congress has approved it

play07:12

so peace talks stall with one

play07:14

substantive agreement as an achievement

play07:16

though the comprehensive agreement

play07:18

on respect of human rights and

play07:20

international humanitarian laws

play07:22

or car real

play07:24

to overseas the implementation of this

play07:26

agreement by both sides the parties have

play07:28

joined appointed a joint monitoring

play07:31

committee or gmc although it has

play07:33

convened since 2004 and it has not

play07:37

agreed upon common procedure it has

play07:39

continued to register complaints

play07:41

about human

play07:43

about human violations or dangerous

play07:45

amalgam between cpp and pay and

play07:47

legalistics

play07:49

lift this organizations

play07:52

so a recent statement made by president

play07:54

arroyo during a visit she paid to the

play07:55

local peace and security assembled lpsa

play07:59

of the vehicle region on december 13

play08:02

2007 shows that the executive branch the

play08:04

government does not allow distinguish

play08:06

between groups promotion ideology in

play08:09

peaceful way and group using arms and

play08:11

daily and violence to promote the same

play08:13

ideology indeed president arroyo thank

play08:17

thank

play08:18

lp for supporting her vision to

play08:20

eradicate humanism in the country by

play08:23

year 2010. mr president spoke about

play08:26

communism as such and not only about

play08:28

communist insurgency

play08:30

so during during a meeting in um fed or

play08:34

mission with the aap vice chief of staff

play08:37

a dozen of high-ranking officers

play08:39

at

play08:40

general headquarters on august 16 2007

play08:43

afv denied an implication in

play08:46

extrajudicial killing so the senior

play08:48

military prosecutor president

play08:50

of the meeting told the theme mission

play08:53

that groups such in pa email f and abu

play08:55

sayyaf are clearly enemies of the state

play08:58

and that ap is acting in the framework

play09:00

of the law

play09:05

so the senior military

play09:07

later added that there are legal groups

play09:09

supporting mba and they might left that

play09:12

and that not all members of those legal

play09:14

groups are considered enemies of the

play09:15

state

play09:16

so they believe that

play09:18

so i think the fact that you have

play09:20

engaged with people are also considered

play09:22

as one of them however according to

play09:23

these hierarchy officers

play09:25

some prominent members of those groups

play09:27

have been identified

play09:29

on the basis of documents alleged

play09:30

allegedly covered by afp as giving an

play09:33

order to kill civilians unfortunately if

play09:36

he did not provide

play09:37

the faith mission with a written list of

play09:40

names and did not inform it about

play09:42

resulting judicial

play09:44

proceedings moreover the same senior

play09:46

military prosecutor third feed mission

play09:49

the baby soldiers and officers can tell

play09:51

and recommend to people

play09:53

especially in zones where in pay is

play09:55

active to avoid joining

play09:58

legal groups

play10:00

so let this lip base

play10:01

organization announce are labeled as

play10:04

enemies

play10:05

of the state legal and peaceful

play10:07

organizations like peasants or fishermen

play10:09

organizations mass organizations or

play10:11

political parties like bayan or anak

play10:14

pawis are often allegated with cpp

play10:18

which is an armed group

play10:20

so in february 2006 arroyo declared

play10:23

a week-long emergency response knowledge

play10:26

because finances will be members of the

play10:28

position including leftists but also

play10:30

righteous and members of the military

play10:34

at hundred

play10:35

at least hundred of leftists were

play10:37

belonging to legal and peaceful

play10:38

organizations

play10:39

or to armed ones who were arrested

play10:42

charges in

play10:43

largely groundless and politically

play10:45

motivated

play10:48

2005 a slight presentation entitled

play10:51

know the enemy was reported made

play10:53

available to the public

play10:55

among others our

play10:58

among others is listed legal print

play11:00

organizations like party list groups

play11:02

leads religious organizations women

play11:04

organizations student associations

play11:07

allegedly allied with cppmp so right now

play11:10

there is this

play11:11

connection somehow

play11:23

despite official denial by ap it is

play11:26

reported that many different

play11:27

stakeholders that aed further

play11:30

broadcasted on pb a similar propaganda

play11:33

film in 2006. after the issue once in

play11:35

the february state of emergency

play11:37

definitely intended to discourage people

play11:39

to belong

play11:40

a list of legal

play11:42

left organizations accusing the latter

play11:44

of being too close to

play11:47

so in parallel three books entitled the

play11:49

trinity of war were also issued by aep

play11:52

which also contained a list of

play11:54

organization labeled as allied cpp

play11:58

including peaceful and legal

play12:00

political parties finally orders of

play12:02

play12:04

identifying several groups or people

play12:07

belonging to a particular category such

play12:09

as farmers youth

play12:11

women or workers allegedly to be prones

play12:13

of the communists

play12:15

underground the order battle is elicit

play12:18

enemies from according to the importance

play12:19

according to philippine peasant

play12:21

organization or

play12:23

kmp

play12:24

the documents that use the term kill but

play12:27

say neutralize

play12:29

general palparan has reportedly been the

play12:31

leading military figure promoting these

play12:34

guidelines

play12:37

when asked about these previous

play12:38

statements accusing organizations such

play12:40

as bayan

play12:42

or gabriela

play12:43

that woman organization as front

play12:45

organizational mpa general park neither

play12:48

confirmed nur denied

play12:51

denied having made such statements

play12:54

the legal left-wing political party and

play12:57

the powers also has reported been

play12:58

labeled as front organizations

play13:01

as chris pin cabell

play13:03

the built-in member of house

play13:04

representative elected on a pause

play13:06

particularly says

play13:08

election law

play13:10

foresees that any political party

play13:12

advocating for or engaged in the use of

play13:14

arms should be dismissed

play13:16

hence as long as no violence is found of

play13:18

such acts all political parties

play13:20

including so-called leftists

play13:22

one should not suffer from any labeling

play13:25

would it not be the case pressure would

play13:28

be put on electors

play13:29

so as to encourage them to support other

play13:32

parties

play13:33

this this practice of play billing is

play13:35

extremely worrying why especially since

play13:37

the majority of victims of human rights

play13:40

ballet should belong to so-called

play13:41

liberties organizations even if

play13:44

even if they might share the same

play13:45

ideology a clear distinction should be

play13:47

drawn between peaceful legal parties and

play13:51

organization on one hand and the armed

play13:54

groups on the other hand

play13:58

how about muslim session is

play14:01

are in my left there are two main muslim

play14:04

armed groups in the philippines which

play14:06

were initially

play14:07

forming one single movement or the moral

play14:09

national liberation front eminent life

play14:11

and moral islamic liberation front

play14:14

my left which appeared later

play14:17

both advocate for the dependence of

play14:19

saudi islands of mindanao but milf

play14:22

agenda is more rooted in islam

play14:25

the moro national revelation panda mnlf

play14:29

was organized in the late 16th early 70s

play14:32

70s by normie sowari a former professor

play14:35

of the united

play14:37

up again up in uh minimal act was to

play14:40

establish independent borrow nation

play14:42

through an armed struggle

play14:44

the armed group is mainly based on

play14:46

mindanao it is also a political

play14:48

organization in philippines accredited

play14:50

by the organization of islamic

play14:53

conference or oic

play14:56

on on september to 1996 jakarta accord

play15:00

brokered by oic between mnf and grp was

play15:03

signed

play15:04

this gabriel permanently muslim areas in

play15:07

midnight a decree observed

play15:10

role with establishment of

play15:13

ermm normi suary became a regional

play15:16

governor and many of the eminent lab

play15:19

armed units were integrated into ap the

play15:22

mlf leader was nevertheless later

play15:24

arrested in 2001 and still under house

play15:27

arrest today he is very popular in the

play15:30

philippines but his attempt to

play15:32

collaborate with grp was in as a mistake

play15:35

by some including

play15:37

mi

play15:38

according to mn reported

play15:41

so here's the picture

play15:44

so according to in and reported still

play15:46

counts more than two to twenty thousand

play15:48

supporters just to summarize the

play15:50

relations between civilian and eminent

play15:53

left repairing support revised from

play15:55

peasant he says you don't cut hands with

play15:58

which speed you a tripartite

play16:01

meeting was set on july 2007 between

play16:03

male f grp advice in order to revise

play16:06

1996 gerard at peace accord to say about

play16:09

delay nurmi sawari said defend nation in

play16:12

mn never attacked but only defended

play16:15

itself and he insisted on brotherhood

play16:18

with his friends indigenous and

play16:19

christians even the lab is not listed as

play16:21

a terrorist organization

play16:24

so i think you are familiar with

play16:26

missouri who is under house arrest in

play16:27

the presence of spiritual leader

play16:30

of nlf and under the surveillance of a

play16:35

the more islamic liberation

play16:38

broke away from an

play16:40

mn of 1977

play16:42

in order to put

play16:43

more impossible islamic roots of

play16:45

movement it used poverty land issues and

play16:48

economic development in mindanao as a

play16:50

result of criminalization of the

play16:52

bangsamoro people by the philippine

play16:53

government

play16:55

so the mi was published by

land mines strictly for defensive

person told the team mission and mi

play17:32

neighbor initiated violence but

play17:35

play17:37

soldiers violating its territory

play17:38

admitting that this might have caused

play17:40

collateral damage he added

play17:43

terrorism was not an issue but it was a

play17:46

team

play17:46

exploited by government like mn and mi

play17:49

also acknowledged that lost commands and

play17:51

lawless statements at landman's rather

play17:54

for acts of violence mi is listed as a

play18:05

terrorist organization by the us and the

philippine government but it continues
