National Liberation Struggle in the Philippines


Join us for a lecture and discussion with

Rafael Baylosis


Tuesday, November 11, 7:30 p.m.
All Souls Church Unitarian
16th & Harvard Streets N.W.
Washington, D.C.


A former political prisoner in the national democratic struggle, Rafael Baylosis is an experienced activist and political consultant. In his youth, he participated in the "First Quarter Storm" which mobilized thousands of Filipino young people in 1970, and he later joined the revolutionary movement in the countryside. He served as consultant and observer in the 1987 peace negotiations between the Aquino government and the NDF. Since his release in 1992, he has been giving political and theoretical education to mass leaders and members of progressive people's organizations. He is a member of the NDFP panel for social-economic reforms in the NDFP-GRP peace talks.

The national democratic movement struggles for genuine freedom and democracy and socio-economic justice and against the U.S.-backed fascism of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and U.S. imperialism. It sprang from the militant student and worker movement in Manila in the mid-sixties and quickly spread to all sectors of Philippine society.

Mr. Baylosis's talk is part of a national educational tour to teach the campus and community about the national democratic struggle uniting the Filipino people, indigenous communities, peasants, and women on issues of social justice, democracy, environmental integrity and equality. Join us for education, discussion, and debate.
