Barrows in Bath Hole and Bury Hill Plantations
Scheduled Monument

Five bowl barrows 360m south-east of Hamptworth Lodge.
Reasons for Designation
Bowl barrows, the most numerous form of round barrow, are funerary monuments dating from the Late Neolithic period to the Late Bronze Age, with most examples belonging to the period 2400-1500 BC. They were constructed as earthen or rubble mounds, sometimes ditched, which covered single or multiple burials. They occur either in isolation or grouped as cemeteries and often acted as a focus for burials in later periods. Often superficially similar, although differing widely in size, they exhibit regional variations in form and a diversity of burial practices. Often occupying prominent locations, they are a major historic element in the modern landscape and their considerable variation of form and longevity as a monument type provide important information on the diversity of beliefs and social organisations amongst early prehistoric communities. They are particularly representative of their period. Despite scrub and tree growth the five bowl barrows 360m south-east of Hamptworth Lodge survive comparatively well and will contain archaeological and environmental evidence relating to their construction, relative chronologies, territorial significance, social organisation, ritual and funerary practices and overall landscape context.
This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 24 September 2015. This record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records.
This monument, which falls into fives areas, includes five bowl barrows situated on the summit of a low hill on a ridge forming the watershed between the valleys of the River Blackwater and one of its tributaries. The barrows survive as circular mounds surrounded by quarry ditches from which the construction material was derived which are preserved differentially. The mounds vary in size from 15m up to 26m in diameter and from 1.5m up to 3.5m high. Three have clearly visible ditches of up to 3m wide and 0.5m deep, the others have buried ditches. One mound has a central excavation hollow and another has a flat top.

Just How Was Tech Flipped ?
We are all familiar the left tilt that has happened in much of the technology field. It's particularly apparent with companies like Google, Apple, Facebook and Twitter where you can see the companies engaging in activities ranging from overwhelmingly donating to left leaning candidates, to going into full on advocacy for the policies and often outright censorship of conservatives. It's a strange thing to write that technology has gone over to the left, because I remember all too well when it was a fortress of conservative and libertarian thought. Just what did happen to perpetrate this sea change and how did it happen ?
Well we may never know how everything happened but we can look at how it's being done now and how those doing it plan on taking it further.
The Following is not parody, it's not comedy, it's the agenda being pushed by the left on the software community and it has a good chance of becoming the dominant governing framework for much of the software that powers our lives.
It is time that we as an industry abandon the notion that merit is something that can be measured, can be pursued on equal terms by every individual, and can ever be distributed fairly.
What does a post-meritocracy world look like? It is founded on a core set of values and principles, an affirmation of belonging that applies to everyone who engages in the practice of software development.
Read that "Meritocracy benefits those with privilege". Yes the privilege of working insanely hard to get good at what is a rather difficult and constantly changing discipline. Naturally seeing as merit derives from unfair privilege it must be abandoned. It's an amazing that this kind of idea could be promulgated, but there it is. You wouldn't accept it for your doctor, your lawyer, your realtor, your contractor, or any other profession you might actually depend on. You want to see what post meritocracy organizations look like, look no further than Broward County and Palm Beach County departments of elections and just imagine the whole world run that way.
The above was just their manifesto lets look at some of their values. Keep in mind this is almost entirely an exercise in Newspeak/Doublespeak.
What an amazing statement for a profession that is overwhelmingly a solitary activity. It does fit the template in that interpersonal skills are hard to measure and essentially at the whim of the person evaluating them.
We must make room for people who are not like us to enter our field and succeed there. This means not only inviting them in, but making sure that they are supported and empowered.
This is from the woman that tried to have Linus Torvalds the creator of Linux, removed from running his own creation because he was harsh in his critiques of bad programming. So when they say "Not like us", they don't mean people with different values or modes of thought.
We acknowledge the value of non-technical contributors as equal to the value of technical contributors.
When you go to the doctor, who has the more valuable contribution to your health, the doctor or the person who schedules your appointment ?
We have an ethical responsibility to refuse to work on software that will negatively impact the well-being of other people.
There has never been an advance made, a product created, or a philosophical insight in human history that hasn't hurt a group of people. Just look at google's stance of not working on U.S. defense projects but being more than willing to provide the Chinese with a censored search engine. The U.S. military has been one of the greatest forces for the common good of humanity in the post war world while if you are Tibetan, or an Uighur you would find yourself deeply impacted by the Red Chinese controlling your access to information. The difference is that to these people the U.S. is evil and the Chinese are hurting America. No reason for them to not to help the Chinese.
We are devoted to practicing compassion and not contempt. We refuse to belittle other people because of their choices of tools, techniques, or languages.
Sorry if someone chooses to dig a ditch with a spoon, not only am I going to belittle them, I will do everything I can to make certain they aren't in that line of work anymore.
Unfortunately this isn't just alarmism, it isn't even an alarm because an alarm implies something can be done. It's already too late for most of the software industry. Ms(?? maybe maybe not) Ehmke has promulgated codes of conduct into thousands of software organizations already. This is just where they are moving next.
Something to think about, when you hear a software company like Youtube is shoving conservatives off the platform, and you are tempted to think "Well it's their business they have no obligation to honor the 1st Amendment".


Since Blue Planet exposed the extent of the plastic waste that is plaguing our oceans, industries across the globe have been making it their mission to reduce their plastic consumption and increase recyclables. It has also allowed conversation to segue towards wider issues surrounding responsible and sustainable tourism – both of which are very welcome topics for the travel industry.
Prior to this, many of us within the industry had already been actively pursuing sustainable travel strategies and propositions. But the shocking footage of our oceans has been pivotal in helping to create the next wave of change for sustainable travel.
Our collective efforts to implement responsible tourism practices are not going unnoticed by prospective clients.
According to Abta's 'Travel Trends 2019' report, sustainability is at the forefront of holidaymakers' minds, with 45% saying it is an important factor in their booking choice. Given the focus sustainability has had in the media, it is little surprise that this figure is up six percentage points on the previous year.
Clients are proactively concerned about their environmental footprint when they go on holiday and it's our job to help provide them with the right resources to make informed decisions.
Focusing on sustainable and responsible travel is high on the agenda at Barrhead Travel. We support the Travelife sustainability scheme, which audits hotels against a range of criteria to ensure they meet requirements for sustainable and responsible tourism. This year, we are also pledging to commit to training for our teams across the business to provide them with the tools and resources to better understand how we can play our part in promoting responsible tourism to clients.
Another area we are also making a commitment to addressing this year is overtourism. Abta's trends report reveals that 86% of the UK population took a holiday of some sort during 2018 and the demand shows no sign of slowing down. Our own booking trends show that our customers are taking shorter but more trips, meaning the most popular destinations are becoming more crowded during peak times.
Tackling overtourism is a challenge worth embracing. It not only aligns with our commitment to supporting a more sustainable future for the world in which we travel, but can also open doors to offering new and exciting product to customers. Rather than sending clients to the same destinations, it's our job as travel advisors to open up the gateways and showcase the diversity of off-the-beaten-track destinations or suggest heading to a favourite destination during off-season.
Helping to combat overtourism can start with us, the travel advisor. Continuous product training for our sales consultants mean we can stay on top of travel trends, interesting itineraries and authentic experiences. Gone are the days when most Brits sought mainstream tourist traps and overcrowded beaches. The authentic culture-seeker is here to stay and it is a fantastic opportunity to help preserve the world for future generations.

Welcome back, friends, to another edition of our Digging In numbers notebook. We have another slightly different format on tap, because who doesn't like experimenting? Today we'll examine sliders from three different Phillies pitchers, and why those pitches serve as a microcosm of their seasons.
When we think of fatigue, one thing comes to mind first: velocity. The Phillies are asking Domínguez to do what he had never done before — pitch on back-to-back days, and do it against the best hitters in baseball. Domínguez's fastball velocity is down. His August fastballs have averaged 97.5 mph, down over a full tick compared to 98.8 mph on average over the first three months. If we look at max velocity, he touched 100 in each of the first two months. He's yet to hit 99 this month.


Warwickshire travelled to Westlecot BC to face Dorset looking to kick start their Middleton Cup campaign after last weeks narrow loss to Cornwall. A good performance saw the Bears win four rinks to return a 126-115 victory, gaining 18 out of 22 points.
Karl Finch (Avenue Coventry), Brian Boardman (Rugby), Steve Smith (Nuneaton) and Martin Timms (Welford) were ahead by a shot after ten ends and built on that to lead by eight with five ends to play. A strong finish took the lead into double figures as Timms and co secured a 29-16 victory. Adam Smith (Avenue Leamington), Gary Langford (Solihull Municipal), Keith Wooding (Avenue Coventry) and Andy Smith (Avenue Leamington) raced away to a midway nine shot lead. Dorset cut the deficit to six but Smith's rink continued to dominate on their way to a 23-11 win.
Matt Wells (Rugby), Mal Evans (Sherwood Park), Dan Box (Little Compton) and Calvin Wells (Nuneaton) were locked in a tight battle with their opponents, level on eleven all on ten ends. With four ends to play Wells and co held a one shot advantage, a four and pair of singles helped the Bears secure another win, final score 24-19. Andy Prickett (Welford), Darren Ward (Rugby), Richard Brittan and Mark Ireland (both Erdington Court) made a strong start, seven up at the halfway point. The lead went to double figures with five ends to play but Dorset cut that down to three over the next four ends, Ireland's rink ended with a single to win 20-16.
Mark Smith (Avenue Leamington), Steve Taylor (Avenue Coventry), Neil Hancock (Little Compton) and Colin Jacox (Avenue Coventry) made a good start to reach ten ends seven up. Dorset fought back to parity six ends later, but with three to play Jacox had retaken a slender one shot lead. Back to back three swung the game in Dorset's favour, Jacox and co took the last end with a single but lost 16-20. Andy Manning (Nuneaton), Rob Maries (Avenue Leamington), Alan Apsey (Welford) and Dave Fallon (Nuneaton) had a first ten ends to forget, failing to register a shot, Dorset 23-0 ahead. Fallon and co then got off the mark, the roar of support from the rest of the team helping them turn their double in ten shots but they still trailed by 19 with three to play. A single and treble helped cut that deficit by more but Dorset had the last laugh, taking the last end with a four to seal their 33-14 win.
# Nuneaton again hosted the annual fixture between the Warwickshire President and The Imps. A very hot afternoon ended in an 137-120 victory for the President.
Lee Ingleston (Bilton), Trevor Briggs (Royal Leamington Spa), Clive Burbage (Solihull Municipal) and Nick Cooper (Nuneaton) scored a couple of sixes and a five on their way to a ninth end fifteen lead. The Imps cut that down to nine but a good finish saw Cooper and co add another five to finish 28-14 winners. Dave Harrison (Executive), Ian Box (Rugby Police), Bruce Truman and Dave Mobbs (both Rugby Railway) reached the sixth end 12-0 up, a seven helped them reach the midway point thirteen shots ahead. A four and three helped the Imps reduce the deficit but they couldn't deny Mobbs' rink a 27-17 victory.
Mick Allsopp (Nuneaton), Sam Bridges (Bilton), Ian Bassnett (Stoke) and George Palmer (Bilton) trailed by three after ten ends but with four ends to play they had turned that into a six shot lead. A six in the final four ends helped ease them over the line, despite dropping a four on the last end. Final score 27-17 to Palmer and co. Mike Tansey (Three Spires), Bernard Merrick (Executive), John Hibbert and Roger Percival (both Ambleside) scored and dropped a couple of fours on their way to an eight shot lead halfway through. The Imps fought back to reach parity with four ends left but Percival's rink finished with an unbeaten seven shots to win 26-19.
David Payne (Stratford), Paul Simpson (Nuneaton), President Don Darby and Past President Tony Dawson couldn't be separated from their opponents, reaching ten ends all square. The President's rink edged ahead but the Imps shut them out for the last eight ends to win 26-16. Phil Whitmore (Nuneaton), Ron Wilson (Tamworth), Mark Glover (Nuneaton) and Paul Brown (Sherwood Park) found themselves down by thirteen shots after ten ends. The Imps dominated the next seven ends, opening the lead to nineteen. Brown and co rallied but it was damage limitation, final score 27-13 to the Imps.

Are we expecting Rally to Gitlab integration in near future ?
then enter the name of your favorite tool/software (e.g. Git) and you'll see all relevant matches.
That does list connectors but GitLab specifically is not listed. There is a workaround process but I have yet to get it working.
An actual implementation would be awesome.
I have been hearing from customers an increasing interest about a similar request to see commit information from Gitlab to CA Agile Central's ChangeSet. As of now, does the product team has anywhere in their backlog a plan to develop something for this? If not, can we perhaps get a step by step instructions on how to accomplish the workaround using the Git integration already available?
We also have this need currently - to see our Gitlab commits in Agile Central; I was told that Gitlab API for integration are not the same as Git or GitHub and a separate connector has to be built. Is this new connector on the Product team backlog?

Transfers by Title: Assets transferred by title include property owned in joint tenancy with the right of survivorship, such as a house that is jointly owned by a married couple. It is important to know the form of ownership for property, particularly when it comes to estate planning, as property jointly owned as a tenancy-in-common has no rights of survivorship and is considered probate property.
Transfers by Contract: Assets transferred by contract include life insurance policies, 401K and retirement plans, and any other asset that has the owner declare a beneficiary to receive it upon the owner's death.
Transfers by Trust: If the deceased has created a trust, the trust will generally contain provisions regarding transfer of the property at the time of death.
Title to these non-probate assets passes automatically at death without any Probate Court proceeding. While ownership transfers automatically, certain steps may be required to have the property released or retitled to the new owner. A certified copy of the death certificate is usually required and additional documentation may be necessary.
If a person has arranged for a non-probate transfer of ownership through title, contract, or trust, this certainly does not mean that a will is not needed. Not only will it still be needed to distribute probate assets, but a will is necessary to name a guardian for minor children, as well as an executor to administer the estate.
An estate planning attorney can best advise you on the estate planning strategies that allow property to avoid probate, while creating an estate plan to meet your family's needs and goals.

I was baptized in the neighborhood Presbyterian church. We were one of two families of color that attended. My parents were adamant about church attendance, even though it was a very white experience. At the time, there was not a Samoan worshiping community in our neck of the woods. Nothing about this church felt like home—at least not to me.
Every Sunday I prayed this song wouldn't come up. To sing about skin color was weird; I felt that at a very visceral level. I felt embarrassed and maybe a bit ashamed. It was easy for everyone else to sing it. They all were the "same color." I was different—not in a "good way"—and this song reminded me of that. My only relationship to "color" was the Crayola Color Crayon box and finger painting. And the little white boy down the street who harassed me daily. He called me the "n" word. It was terrifying.
I will make you fishers of men, fishers of men, fishers of men.
I will make you fishers of men, if you follow me.
Someone should have known better. Children are very literal thinkers—no matter how cute and catchy the melody. When you say, "men," kids think "men." Semantic nuance is not in their wheelhouse.
Experiences like this framed my theological upbringing.
All the images I saw on the walls of my Sunday school classrooms were pictures of white children and a white Jesus who looked like a surfer. And then there were stories like today's Gospel in which boys were the lucky ones. They were on the shore that day to receive the amazing invitation from Jesus to follow him. I imagined there were young girls, like me, who were playing on the shore hoping, waiting, and more than likely hiding their desire. They also wanted to be invited to follow Jesus. They also wanted to be seen.
I needed to hear that part of the story, too.
Why were there only boy disciples?
Did Jesus not want girls to follow him?
Was his invitation for me, too?
This passage is about Jesus calling people into a relationship with him—into discipleship and service. My reluctance to respond with a hearty "yes" and drop everything to follow Jesus was deeply rooted in a theology formed and shaped in my early years which was this: my story isn't here. Not really.
I now know, that whether you see yourself in the story truly depends on how you read the story. And for those of us who teach and tell, our words can make a big difference in whether others can hear Jesus' invitation.
If you have ever been in the position that I am describing above, you know what I mean. It's a constant and exhausting struggle when you feel like you have to "force" yourself into the biblical narrative. Deep inside I knew this gross mishandling of the biblical story wasn't God's fault.
Children shouldn't have to work that hard. In fact, they get this stuff way faster than adults do.
Jesus instructed Simon, "Push out into the deep water and let your nets down for a catch." They hauled in an abundance of fish. That's my favorite part. Might that be another way to have heard the Good News?
Deep water, in the biblical narrative, was often used to describe chaos. Choosing to push out into deep water, into chaos, feels counter-intuitive. But it helps to remember the creation narrative here. It tells us that the Spirit hovers over the chaos. Pushing out into deep water is where you find the good catch.
And that is a different way to approach this story.
Chaos would have adequately described my childhood feelings of being different, not seen, and not important. My skin color and gender felt like a barrier in most places: the playground, the classroom and even the church. Being caught by Jesus would've been really good news to me back then. It might have even sustained me through some rough patches in my youth. The truth is, it even feels good to me right now.

Idesco has launched a new 8 CD 2.0 DESFire reader that supports mobile device transactions. In addition to reading conventional transponders, it reads access credentials you can store in your smartphone, then forwards them to the reader host for authentication. You only need your site manager to issue you mobile credentials you install in your device and then install Idesco's BLE application (free and available from Google Play).
Obviously, access control via mobile devices is positioned to become an increasingly popular convenience. However, Idesco has also worked hard to ensure it will be secure, user-friendly and easily-managed. That is why our new 8 CD 2.0 reader was designed with both BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and NFC (Near Field Communication) mobile transaction abilities. The mobile app was designed to work seamlessly with smartphones to robustly secure their storage of access credentials. Security managers are able to administer users' temporary, time-scheduled access privileges conveniently from the cloud. Further, users' mobile transactions will remain just as secure as with traditional transponders. Finally, site managers can still secure users' mobile transactions with personal pin codes at the reader if needed.
Best of all, Idesco's new BLE/NFC-supporting DESFire reader lets site managers freely choose when is the best time to implement mobile access. This is possible because the reader is retains its full array of traditional DESFire and Idesco features: from IP67 protection and IK impact resistant classes to support for all MIFARE® transponders from Classic UID to DESFire sectors – along with its mobile transaction capability. Re-configuring for mobile transactions later is easy, with no uninstallation our even powering down required.

Philipp Adolf Joseph Molitor (* 21. Dezember 1752 in Mainz; † 17. Januar 1840 in Frankfurt am Main) war ein deutscher Verwaltungsbeamter und Politiker.

Molitor war der Sohn eines Kurmainzer Hofkammerrates. Er besuchte die Hohe Kameral-Schule zu Lautern und wurde wie sein Vater Kurmainzer Hofkammerrat. In Kurmainz trug er zuletzt den Titel eines Kurmainzer Hof- und Regierungsrates sowie Hofkriegsrates.

Er heiratete Elisabeth Fritsch. Aus der Ehe gingen sechs Kinder hervor. Der Sohn Kosmas Damian Molitor wurde später Kreisgerichtsrat im Großherzogtum Hessen.

Im Fürstentum Aschaffenburg war er Direktorialrat im Landesdirektorium. Er organisierte die Inbesitznahme des Fürstentums Hanau und des Fürstentum Fulda für den Staat des Fürstprimas und dort vor allem die Reorganisation der Polizei. Danach war er vor allem im Bereich der Finanzen tätig und bis 1811 Vorsitzender der Rechnungsrevisionskommission. 1810 bis 1813 war er ernannter Staatsrat im Großherzogtum Frankfurt. Am 15. Oktober 1810 wurde er zum Referenten für die kaiserlichen Domänen in den Departements Fulda und Hanau ernannt.

Er ist auf dem Hauptfriedhof Frankfurt am Main begraben. Sein Grab steht unter Denkmalschutz.

Schomberg's Matthew Lolli stopped 18 of the 20 shots he faced in a relief appearance in the Cougars' 7-1 loss to the Stayner Siskins last week.
The Schomberg Cougars are appealing to the public's help to invoke memories of junior seasons past.
The Junior C club has put out a call to all former captains in the team's 50 years as a franchise, looking for those interested in dropping the puck in ceremonial face offs throughout home games this season.
Any interested candidates can contact Nicki at schombergcougars@post.com.
Those looking to get out on the ice in their skates rather than their boots will get the opportunity, also: alumni young and old are invited to take part in an alumni game on Nov. 10 at the Trisan Centre in Schomberg.
If you want to pull on a Cougars sweater one more time, you can send an email along with your name, phone number, position you played, and number of years spent with the team.
As for the current den of Cougars, next up is a Thursday evening match-up with the Stayner Siskins at the Trisan Centre, the last of a three-game home stand to open the regular season. It also opens up a busy three-in-three schedule, visiting the Penetang Kings and Midland Flyers on Friday and Saturday respectively.
Schomberg will be looking to earn some revenge against the Siskins, who dropped the Cougars' record to 0-2 on the season in Schomberg's only game last week.
After falling behind 5-0 less than a minute into the second period, veteran Matthew Lolli entered the game in relief, putting in a stellar performance the rest of the way in stopping 18 of the 20 shots he faced.
Brandon Cohen notched his second goal in as many games midway through the third period to break the shutout.
Puck drop Thursday is set for 7:30 p.m.

Political Prisoners start fasting until Aquino's SONA
h!	Articles	 July 19, 2012 July 3, 2016
Reference: Angie Ipong, Secretary General
Contact Number: 09499587373
"Political prisoners almost all over the country are in fasting today until the President's SONA," the group SELDA announces as it, together with other human rights organizations, call on the Aquino Administration to "Free all political prisoners."
There are at least seven (7) different jails where political prisoners expressed their participation in the fasting. These are jails from the Southern Mindanao Region, Compostela Valley, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Batangas Provincial Jail, Isabela Provincial Jail, New Bilibid Prisons, Camp Bagong Diwa, and Camp Crame in Quezon City .
"This government should stop arresting (activists) because of their political beliefs and start freeing the political prisoners," Angie Ipong, former political prisoner, and Secretary General of SELDA says. As a solidarity action, SELDA mounts a fasting center in front of the Department of Justice asking to decriminalize cases of political prisoners and dismiss their cases in courts.
"The political prisoners are not criminals. They only demand what they think is just for the society," Ipong says. She cited the latest case of arrest of Agnes Mesina, a development worker working with the Rural Missionaries of the Philippines in Cagayan Province. Mesina was arrested for a trumped up charge of frustrated murder on July 4 during a meeting with Makabayan Coalition where ACT Partylist Rep. Antonio Tinio was present. "Elizabeth Principe and Myrna Cruz are co-accused in this case!" Angie adds. Principe and Cruz were already jailed by the government for trumped up charges but managed to dismiss all the cases against them. "Jailing again persons who have already proven themselves innocent of crimes is nothing but a desperate act of the government to keep its perceived enemies silent," Ipong says.
Ipong also mentions that among 385 political prisoners in the Philippines (105 of which are of the Aquino Regime), there are 13 elderly, 48 sick with different ailments, 20 who had been in jail too long and their release overdue. They should immediately be released for humanitarian reasons.
Detained likewise are 13 consultants of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) in the peace negotiations who were abducted and detained despite their being covered and protected by the JASIG (Joint Agreement on Security and Immunity Guarantees) signed by both the GPH (Government of the Philippines) and the NDFP.
"If the Benigno Aquino Administration is sure to brag about his anti-corruption crusade on his
State of the Nation Address, we are sure he can not report about the issue of justice and human
rights for he has done nothing to address it," Ipong ends.

Join the Malaya Movement along with the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines, US Pinoys for Good Governance, and The Migrant Center at St. Francis of Assisi for a forum with speakers exploring the human rights crisis and repression under President Rodrigo Duterte, with a special focus on political prisoners. This forum is a part of a series of events for International Human Rights Day (IHRD) 2019 investigating human rights and democracy in the Philippines. * Extra judicial killings, disappearances, and red-tagging of human rights defenders and activists have become all too commonplace. President Duterte's failed drug war is awash in blood with over 30,000 killed. Peace advocates and faith leaders are threatened, killed, or called "terrorists". Critical media personalities and publications are maligned, harassed with trumped-up charges to incite a climate of fear amongst those who dare express dissent or opposition to the alarming policies and statements of President Duterte and his administration. Even as the democratic space shrinks to a stranglehold, the Filipino people remain resilient and continue to fight back against fascism. * Speakers will cover the significance of Senator Leila de Lima's 1000th day of detention, last month's crackdown on progressive organizations that included mass arrests of members of BAYAN and GABRIELA, the spike in political arrests--which totalled 629 political prisoners by the end of November 2019, as well as Duterte's overall repression of his critics and those clamoring for democracy and human rights in the Philippines. According to lawmakers, 382 of all political prisoners in the Philippines (about 61 percent) have been arrested since the beginning of Duterte's presidency in 2016 alone. * Learn about the crucial role that US-based Filipinos and allies can play in our legislative advocacy efforts to hold the Duterte administration accountable for crimes against the Filipino people. Let us uphold democracy and human rights in the Philippines and oppose fascism, tyranny, and repression in the Philippines and across the Philippine diaspora!
