S.F. Protests 34 Years Of Martial Law in The Philippines
34th Anniversary of Martial Law in the Philippines
On September 21, 2006 about 100 protesters in San Francisco marked the 34th Anniversary of martial law in the Philippines and the murder of Filipinos. Photos . Earlier in the day activists dropped banners over freeways and street overpasses. Photos .

Since Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo came to power under martial law, at least 752 Filipinos have been murdered in politically motivated killings while 184 have gone missing. Tens of millions of U.S. tax dollars are given to the Macapagal-Arroyo government each year for military training and weaponry and hundreds of millions worth of military technology are "transferred" to the Philippine military. Today, the U.S. military is currently engaged in ongoing "joint-training exercises" between American troops and the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Amnesty International recently released a report criticizing the Macapagal-Arroyo administration.
