Dear Eberhard,
Dear Friends,
Seasons greetings from the Kilusang Mayo Uno-Cordillera and from the whole family of Cordillera Peoples Alliance.
In behalf, i would like to thank you for the 2 balikbayan boxes you sent for us here. It was just in time for the christmas season but more for the organizers and volunteers who needed much the things you sent us. We were able to distribute the clothings to at least 20 families of workers who until now are homeless because there house were damaged by the typhoon. For now they are recovering from the psychological and economic effects of the disaster. They have strong hope and determination to move on.
Its again Christmas season and we always want to say Merry Christmas and have a peaceful new year. together we welcome a new year full of strength from lessons and strengths from 2009.

“Our partner churches do speak out today. We bring our issues to our partner churches in the United States like the Presbyterian Church, the United Methodist Church, United Church of Christ USA, Reform Church in America. And they all send us solidarity messages, and they also called on their own government to do something about these issues.” – UCCP Bishop Elmer Bolocon

Liebe Mitglieder der Deutsch-Philippinischen Freunde e.V.,
ich bedanke mich vom ganzen Herzen für die mir entgegengebrachte Solidarität. 70 Solidaritätserklärungen aus dem gesamten Bundesgebiet und aus Norwegen von mindestens 653 Unterzeichnern gingen bereits bei uns ein. Das stärkt mir und den Freunden vor Ort den Rücken und gibt Mut und Kraft. Inzwischen wurde beim Verwaltungsgericht Halle/S. Klage auf Feststellung der Rechtswidrigkeit der „Gefährderansprache“ und der enthaltenen Vorbeugehaft-Androhung gestellt.
Liebe Leute und liebe Sponsoren, Stuttgart, 3. Advent 2009
die Bitte um Spenden für die Flutopfer in Manila und für die Opfer der Erdrutsche in den Cordilleren brachte eine überwältigende praktische Solidarität aus ganz Deutschland. Es konnten so von den Deutsch-Philippinischen Freunden nahezu 50 Boxen an die Opfer geschickt werden mit Lebensmittel, Hygieneartikel, Kleider, Schuhe usw.
Packstationen gab es in Düsseldorf, Berlin, Heilbronn und Stuttgart, für die wir verantwortlich waren.
