December 2, 2014 -- A very successful Asian Socialism Conference was
held in the Philippines, November 28-29, followed by a rally on November
30. Around 350 delegates participated in the conference, well exceeding
our target of 250 leaders who had registered prior to the conference. A
contingent of around 3000 rallied and marched on November 30 to mark
Bonficacio National Hero's Day.The conference was organised by the
Partido Lakas ng Masa (Party of the Labouring Masses, PLM).
A strong feature of the conference was the participation of women
leaders of the Philippine Socialist Feminist movement.The conference
brought together the socialist feminists, revolutionary LGBT activists,
with a strong contingent of socialist workers, intellectuals from the
University of the Philippines, urban poor leaders and out-of-school
youth, and students from high schools and campus.
Many thanks to all our international guests whose presence and
presentations made the conference such a tremendous success: Comrades
Woody Aroun, from the National Union of Metal Workers of South Africa
(NUMSA), who showed that class struggle unionism was alive and well;
Comrades Pradeep Gyawali CPN-UML and Manarishi Dhital UCPN-Maoist from
the Nepali left who demonstrated that parties can get together and
discuss their differences in the most comradely fashion; Comrades Nasir
Hashim and Letchumanan from Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM); Comrades
Vivin Sri Wahyuni and Wahida Baharuddin Upa from Peoples Democratic
Party (PRD) Indonesia, and; Comrade Alex Bainbridge from Socialist
Alliance, Australia.
