The Philippines: a scenario of struggle for Life. Perhaps the best way to discover the reality of our people is through the eyes of women – through their feelings and wisdom, demonstrated by their millennial epic achievements confronting all sorts of ine-quities, always made invisible by the dominant and patriarchal bias of official history. The profoundly human testimonies of the Filipina fighters express their great feelings of love for justice and life, as well as their strength and clarity of conscience. Their actions are not simply acts of volunteerism or charity, but of political conviction, militancy, and the difference between thought and action.
