Open Letter to President Arroyo
Sep 28th, 2005 | By | Category: Liham at Pahayag“We–members of the Coalition to Stop Child Detention Through Restorative Justice composed of 26 organizations nationwide–respectfully demand that the Office of the President immediately stop the barbaric, systematic, organized, and wide scale crime being committed with impunity by officers of the Philippine National Police against 52,000 child prisoners.”

“Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will be remembered as the president who was on par with if not gone beyond Ferdinand Marcos’ infamous legacy. Arroyo is more devious, however. She did not have to declare martial law to be a dictator.”
“The killing by pro-Arroyo majority congressmen of the impeachment complaint, which had the support of several organizations, has ignited a series of mass protests. A new broad oust-Arroyo alliance has vowed to remove the president by a third people power.”
