One thing that I really love about going back to our province in Pangasinan is that you'll get to buy local produce and local snacks that came from nearby municipalities on a very low price! 😊💯 #Tripneyjof #philippines #PhilippineTourism #Palengke #Market #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines #WakeupinPH #Pangasinan #BinalonanMarket #Food #FoodGram #FoodTourism #vegetables #Migrationology #Travel #Travels #ThePhilippines (at Binalonan, Pangasinan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWNr2oSvAd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pro-Colonialism Propaganda: How Do We See The Effects Today?

We are living in the remains of colonialism, such colonialism that is not even two hundred years old. For example the overtaking and cultural assimilation of the Philippines during the late 1800s and early 1900s as a result of the Spanish-American War, which eventually led to the Filipino-American War. These catastrophic events in history were primarily caused by the ideas of manifest destiny sought after the United States as an imperial power. Its greed for territorial land and control shaped the lives of the native people of those lands in ways unimaginable.

During this time, many artists captured the history of the ideas and emotions the imperial powers wanted others to consume, believe, and uphold. They used visual rhetoric through extreme exaggeration and corruption.

The political cartoon above, which was seen on a Judge magazine cover in June of 1899, was used as propaganda after the Spanish-American war was over and the United States was given control over the Philippines, Guam, Cuba, and Puerto Rico from Spain through the passing of the Treaty of Paris. This piece displays a crying, naked, indigenous Filipino child with an arrow in his hand being given his "first" bath by William McKinley, the U.S. president at the time. In this "first bath," the child is being washed using the waters of "civilization" and the brush of "education". In the background, there are two other children, who represent Cuba and Puerto Rico, who appear to have already been bathed as they have Americanized clothes on and no noticeable traditional attire.

The visual presence of the American Flag in the new clothes of the recently acquired territories and what appears to be the White House in the background create a sense of patriotism in the image. This might invoke the intended audience to believe what the U.S. is doing, especially President McKinley exclaiming “Oh, you dirty boy!”, is only doing what is best for the people of those lands. The ideas of Rudyard Kipling’s poem "The White Man's Burden" are exemplified through this and many similar propaganda posters. Such as this:

And this:

Grant Hamilton, Judge Magazine, 14 December 1902

All of these propaganda posters are racist and meant to harm the people from these places who had establishments, systems of governance, skills, labor, vegetation, and cultural traditions that were already allowing them to live and thrive. Visual media like this, even used today, create generalizations and harmful ideas to the people consuming them on a daily. But, that gives us the opportunity and duty to punch up against it!

To Investigate or Not To Investigate? Analyzing the ICC Prosecutor's Request on PRRD's War on Drugs: To Investigate or Not To Investigate? Analyzing the ICC Prosecutor's Request on PRRD's War on Drugs

Before we start, we must first learn what the ICC or the International Criminal Court is. The International Criminal Court (ICC) investigates and, where warranted, tries individuals charged with the gravest crimes of concern to the international community: genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression. As a court of last resort, it seeks to complement, not replace, national Courts. Governed by an international treaty called the Rome Statute (ICC, 2023).

The controversy surrounding President Rodrigo Duterte's (PRRD) war on drugs has been a subject of intense debate and global concern. Since assuming office in 2016, Duterte has pursued a relentless campaign against illegal drugs in the Philippines, advocating a tough stance that includes widespread law enforcement operations.

Critics argue that the approach has led to a series of alleged human rights violations, with reports of extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests, and a lack of due process. Human rights organizations and international bodies have raised alarms, expressing concerns about the potential disregard for basic human rights principles in the pursuit of the anti-drug campaign.

In response to these allegations, the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor initiated a request for investigation into the situation in the Philippines. The ICC, established to prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression, is considering whether the actions associated with PRRD's war on drugs fall within its jurisdiction. We can categorize the grounding of the request of the ICC prosecutor into two categories: The Legal basis and the Political basis.

Legal Arguments:

Jurisdiction of the ICC

When the request of the investigation was probed by the former Duterte administration, the administration presented counter-arguments to dismiss the request. Some of the arguments raised by the administration are: Sovereignty, Legal and Procedural Issues, The roles of national courts, and one of which is the Non-membership status of the Philippines. However, the document of request refute the last argument in the 80th to the 81st paragraph which explains that, “These alleged crimes fall within the Court’s jurisdiction ratione temporis, because thePhilippines deposited its instrument of ratification of the Rome Statute on 30 August 2011, and the Statute entered into force for the Philippines on 1 November 2011, in accordance with article 126(1) of the Statute… In the Burundi situation, Pre-Trial Chamber III held that a State Party’s withdrawal from the Rome Statute does not affect the Court’s exercise of jurisdiction over crimes committed prior to the effective date of the withdrawal. This conclusion was recently confirmed by Pre-Trial Chamber II in the Abd-Al-Rahman Case. The Court’s exercise of such jurisdiction, moreover, is not subject to any time limit, particularly since the preliminary examination here commenced prior to the Philippines’ withdrawal.”

Evidence and Accountability

The document also presented a comprehensive and detailed flow of events of the declaration of the war on drugs or “Operation Double Barrel” which can be traced back to the start of his term. The evidence collected and presented by the ICC prosecutor were reviewed by other 3rd party human rights groups and other credible independent investigation groups that also concur with the findings. The document also presented the need for accountability and pointed to the person that it viewed as accountable for the crimes that occurred during that time which is the former President Duterte.

Political Arguments:

Sovereignty and National Jurisdiction

The argument advocating that the Philippines should handle internal matters without external intervention, particularly in the context of the war on drugs led by President Duterte, underscores a commitment to national sovereignty. Proponents of this viewpoint, including Duterte himself, contend that addressing domestic issues within the framework of the nation's legal and political institutions is paramount. They argue that external interference, such as an International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation, infringes upon the Philippines' right to determine its own course of action.

Diplomatic Relations

Politically, the specter of an ICC investigation introduces a complex dynamic. While some may argue that it demonstrates a commitment to accountability and justice on an international stage, others, including those within the government, may interpret it as an affront to the nation's leadership. This could potentially lead to internal polarization and affect the overall stability of the political landscape. Moreover, the possibility of external legal proceedings could exacerbate existing tensions and contribute to a climate of uncertainty, impacting the effectiveness of governance.

Possible Implications:

If the Investigation Pursues:

If the ICC investigation were to pursue legal action, the potential issuance of arrest warrants or the initiation of trials could instigate significant domestic political turbulence and shape the international perception of the Philippines, influencing diplomatic relations and the credibility of the ICC as a global arbiter of justice.

If the Investigation Does Not Pursue:

If the ICC decides not to proceed with an investigation into the allegations surrounding President Duterte's war on drugs, several implications may unfold. Firstly, domestically, the decision may be interpreted by some as a validation of the government's position and a lack of substantiated evidence for international intervention. This could potentially bolster the administration's narrative, reinforcing its stance on the legitimacy and necessity of the anti-drug campaign.

On the international stage, a non-pursuit decision might be perceived differently. It could lead to skepticism among human rights advocates and the international community, who may view it as a missed opportunity to address alleged violations and hold individuals accountable. The credibility of the ICC could be questioned, particularly in the context of its effectiveness in dealing with high-profile cases and influencing global human rights standards.

In conclusion, the controversy surrounding the ICC's investigation into President Duterte's war on drugs hinges on both legal and political arguments. Legal disputes center on jurisdiction, with the Philippines' non-membership contested, while evidence presented by the ICC supports the need for accountability. The political dimension emphasizes national sovereignty and potential diplomatic repercussions. If the investigation proceeds, the issuance of arrest warrants or trials could lead to domestic turmoil and shape international perceptions. Conversely, a decision not to pursue may bolster the government's narrative domestically but may lead to skepticism internationally, questioning the ICC's credibility in addressing alleged violations. The outcome carries implications for both the Philippines' internal stability and its standing on the global stage.
