i'll be on my way to another trip to the philippines again shortly, and will be able to stay for some time again, but before i do, literally the night before, i'll be performing at the following event. come show your solidarity!


under Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, vowing to support at any cost the US-led so-called war on terror,
there has been 2,241 cases of human rights violations, 260 political killings, 23 disappearances;
169,343 individuals, 18,740 families, 70 communities, 196 households have been victims of human rights violations;
since the return of US troops to the Philippines, sex trafficking of Filipinas has increased 600%

in honor of those who've fought and those who continue to fight for human rights...
