My recent run in with the military has resulted in a concern from people both in Canada and here in the Philippines. Even the NGO peeps I work with that deal with this sort of situation all the time have been asking whether I’m ok, whether I was afraid. People have even gone to call me brave. Very strange.

Jocelyn Polborido's family home.
It was 4am, the sun was still a long time from rising, and rain was falling when I woke up to make breakfast with the one other guy in the group. We were in Balinak, Ligao, Bikol, a town at the end of the road—literally.
The single paved lane wove around the rolling hills of the land around Mt. Mayon, it ended at the basketball court of Balinak, a simple village that still consisted of many nipa hut homes, a village with a sad recent story.

The rains came and went for the few days I was in Bikol. The bus window showed evidence of this less than seasonal weather. It was dusk, and the sky was finally clearing, the clouds in my mind had also started to break.

I lived here in 2001 with my family. The simple house of corregated iron, plywood, and cinderblock was by active traintracks.
I’ve been in the Philippines a few days now with the Kilusan Collective and I am lost in a sea of conflicting thoughts, much of it stemming from an inner debate as to my responsibilities as a balikbayan [returning Filipino living abroad] and my purpose in this project.

Ok I have a really stupid question about the bailouts already enacted and the expected auto bailout to come:
As I understand bad business decisions have resulted in financial institutions being unable to lend, which has resulted in corporations being unable to borrow to make up for losses resulted from their own bad decisions, which has resulted in a the loss, or threat of loss, of jobs for working people, and this has resulted in severely reduced demand for goods. The result is a vicious cycle where the latter results in the weakening of the former at each turn.
Governments have responded by feeding money, gathered from the bottom of the cycle, to the top.
My stupid question is: why don’t they just give us, the people, money instead?

Admitting that I was a Canadian has never been as difficult as when I travelled to the Philippines to photograph two Canadian-owned open-pit mining sites last winter. The fact that I am also Filipino by blood didn’t help. (more…)
