The European Court of Justice ruled that I was not in any position to commit or engage in any conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism. The Dutch court also ruled that I was not in any position to commit or conspire to commit the crimes of murder in the Philippines. Both courts considered in my favor that I had been out of the Philippines for so long as a political refugee and that I could not be an operational leader of any organization in the Philippines.

Duterte is engaged in a wild anti-communist witchhunt under the guise of anti-terrorism. An immediate look at his list of ¨terrorists¨ will show that he is running amok in slandering people as ¨terrorists¨.

The people are under attack, women are targeted for attack. What do we do? We fight back. The League foresees even worse manifestations of this global crisis erupting into open war. Just as our forebears Rosa, Clara, Krupskaya, Angela and Leila saw the power of women and people united in the face of murderous warmongers, tyrants and dictators, so we now choose to forge greater unity, employ the sharpest analytical and organizing calls, and advance with local victories until global emancipation is achieved.

The fakeries and deceptions of the regime fail because it is culpable for the reality of rising prices, increasing unemployment, persistent corruption, tyranny, warrantless abductions, mass murder of mere suspects, involvement of the Dutertes in the drug business, sell-out to foreign interests and so many anti-people policies and crimes.

For any selfish reason, he is quick to pick a fight with any Filipino or Filipino organization but is a cheap and craven puppet of a foreign power that robs the Filipino people of their sovereign rights and natural resources.

After the destruction of the city and the forced evacuation of more than 300,000 people, there is overwhelming uncertainty whether they would get sufficient assistance for relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction. Most people are now in the dark whether they can get back their previous home lots and the remains of their ruined houses and shops.

The Vice President is wise and sober and knows how to appreciate peace negotiations as the way to solve an armed conflict. She is probably aware that the GRP and NDFP negotiating panels last November were ready to finalize the agreements on general amnesty of political prisoners, major parts of CASER and the coordinated unilateral ceasefire preparatory to the bilateral ceasefire supposedly desired by the AFP
