Report: Statement from the Black & Green Forum & 2nd Solidarity Eco-Camp in the Philippines
Friday, April 12th, 2013
ECO CAMP BACKGROUND
Eco-Camp is an activity organized by Mobile Anarchist School with the help by Local Autonomous Network (LAN) both active in the Philippines. Last April 2012 was the first camping held in Tanay Rizal, Philippines. It was attended by various collectives and individuals totaling around 40 people who participated the various activities and discussions in the camp.

After series of activities in 2012, the LAN decided to expand its activities on ecological issues due to concrete manifestation of the crisis impacting the archipelago.

Demo for Global Day of Action on Climate Justice (Philippines)
Thursday, November 22nd, 2012
14 November 2012
Global Day of Action on Climate Justice
A group of almost 20 anarchists with Guy Fawkes mask participate in a global day of action on climate justice. In coordination with other local progressive group the Local Autonomous Network gave solidarity to the climate justice issue stating “corporation and government are the direct perpetrator” so we need “system change not climate change”. The problem of global warming and the earth’s destabilizing climate are caused by the emission of heat trapping greenhouse gases (GHGs), from the historical accumulated pollution of different corporations, not only by the industrialized countries but the whole capitalist magnate. There is already a massive and destructive impact on human in terms of food security, drinkable water, health and livelihood. The miserable thing is the governments are not taking any action about this matter because of the benefit they can get from the corporations.
Destroy corporation before it destroys you!
Smash the state before they smash your community!

3rd Anarchist Series of Gatherings happened at Etniko Bandido Infoshop (Philippines)
Sunday, February 12th, 2012
3rd Anarchist Series of Gatherings happened at Etniko bandido Infoshop is quite a success. Almost 20 people came to participate in this event from freelance artist to the volunteers of Food Not Bombs and some close friends. Even some foreign visitors who are in the Philippines for a holiday gave their time to witness this small but informative activity.
Some artist who made an 5”x7”inches artwork display their magnificent master pieces on the wall of the space for public viewing so the people will have a chance for a free look and appreciate art at its best.
A couple from Marinduque Indymedia Center gave a workshop and present a film/documentation about their travel in three different side of Asia such as Thailand, Indonesia and Japan as part of their ASIA INDY TEST Project. The film interview that their document in one of the Anti-Authoritarian Gathering in Medan,
Indonesia which they show to us was a bit inspiring. They share their experiences on this supposedly one week activity and made a lot of comments regarding the event. Also a film about their talk in one of the conference in Thailand was also good. After the film presentation a video/photography workshops takes place. The workshop did not go any further but still it was nice that somehow we learn so much despite of a short time workshop.
After all of this informative presentation and skill sharing activity, an awaiting party heads on till midnight.

Solidarity action for young Christian Serrano, killed by police (Philippines)
Tuesday, May 24th, 2011
Subject: AGAINST VIOLENCE! AGAINST AUTHORITY!
MAY 21 an action against police violence occur in Makati City with the participation of some autonomous individuals who drop a banner in Mantrade fly-over stating HUSTISYA PARA KAY CHRISTIAN SERRANO NA PINATAY NG PULIS “TUTULAN ANG KARAHASAN” (JUSTICE FOR CHRISTIAN SERRANO WHO WAS MURDERED BY COPS “DISSENT VIOLENCE”) and after hand-outs leaflets to all by passers.
MAY 23 2pm we went to the preliminary hearing of the accused police of murder in Makati City Justice Hall to give a support with the victims family. We can’t go inside to the justice hall because it is so full of people so we wait outside and post our banner.
This action is a support and also our way to show sympathy for the family of Christian Serrano 13 yrs.old a scavenger who was killed by cops, who falsely thought that the young boy was a thief; he is also one of a thousand victims of unstoppable police violence in this country.
We fearlessly condemned this act of unjustifiable killings of police and we will pursue this campaign against police oppression and violence until the people realized that police authorities are not the one protecting the ‘human rights’.
