Chapter 3 The Philippines Information Bulletin and the Transnational Anti-Marcos Press
Abstract
The alternative press played a formative role in the eventual overthrow of Ferdinand Marcos. In the Philippines, the “mosquito press”—which included publications such as We Forum, Malaya, Mr. and Ms., National Midweek, and many more—bravely covered the regime’s failings and outright lies. The underground press in the Philippines, including Ang Bayan, Signs of the Times, Balita ng Malayang Pilipinas, and many more, worked with activists outside of the Philippines to create a transnational press network. Through this network activists exchanged information regarding human rights abuses in the Philippines in order to draw international attention to the violences of the Marcos regime.
This chapter focuses on one small part of this remarkable history of press dissidence, the publication of Philippines Information Bulletin. Primarily organized by anti-imperialist activists in the Boston area, the Bulletin also relied upon the work of Filipino and Filipino American activists. Despite its short publication run, the Bulletin made space for discussing the complex politics of anti-imperialism, labor organizing, anti-authoritarianism, and diaspora.
