NGOs want Philippines to bow to China

So Marcos is visiting the USA: lots of Fil Ams and both legal and illegal Filipinos in the USA, and there is a wish for more US investment here, but the main reason is about the increase in US presence here as a way to stop China from grabbing Taiwan and the shipping routes and natural gas resources that belong to other countries in the West Philippine sea.

So all the peace groups are protesting: Oh the USA is the bad guy. WTF?

A human rights coalition on Sunday denounced the upcoming bilateral talks between President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and US President Donald Trump, saying it represents the Philippines’ “subservience” to Washington and supports the “peace through deterrence" strategy.

The International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) made the remarks as it called for an end to the “increasing” US militarization in the country, warning it may “bring more war and destruction to the Filipino people” and may “further plunge the most marginalized in Philippines society into poverty”.

“The US military build-up in the Philippines is not defensive nor geared towards peace, but aggressive war preparations that put the Filipino people at risk to be collateral damage in a war with China. The Filipino people don’t want to be a battlefield for a great power war,” said ICHRP chairperson Peter Murphy.

so follow the money. 

I asked Grok who the heck is funding an organization that is busy gaslighting us that China's aggresion is not the problem, but asking the US to help stop it is.

and I got this answer:

There is limited publicly available information that directly details the specific funding sources for the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP).

no publically available information? That suggests a shadow organization funding them. CIA? Or Chinese intelligence?  

The ICHRP is a global network of organizations focused on advocating for human rights and peace in the Philippines, and its funding likely comes from a combination of member organization contributions, donations, and grants, as is typical for such advocacy networks.

translation: Money from international organizations, often from governments or shadow international governments. This by the way was why USAID was shut down: A lot of money given to organizatoins that gave it to other organizations so it couldn't be traced. 

Here’s what can be inferred based on available information:

- **Member Organizations**: ICHRP comprises over 50 member organizations worldwide, including churches, trade unions, environmental advocacy groups, and grassroots solidarity groups.

a lot of churches are essentially funding these international NGOs instead of actually helping the poor.  

These organizations may provide financial or in-kind support, such as resources or volunteer efforts, to sustain ICHRP’s activities.[](https://ichrp.net/about/)

- **Donations**: ICHRP actively encourages donations through its website, suggesting that individual and organizational contributions play a role in its funding. For example, their website includes a "DONATE" option, indicating reliance on public or supporter contributions.[](https://ichrp.net/category/conference-2023/)

- **Grants and Partnerships**: As a coalition operating in 15 countries, ICHRP may receive grants from international human rights or development-focused NGOs, foundations, or advocacy networks. While specific funders are not named in the provided references, similar organizations often receive support from entities like the United Nations, international development agencies, or private foundations focused on human rights. For instance, the U.S. Embassy contributed Php7 million to a UN Joint Programme for Human Rights in the Philippines, which supports similar goals, suggesting potential overlap in funding ecosystems.[](https://ph.usembassy.gov/u-s-contributes-nearly-php7-million-to-un-joint-programme-for-human-rights-in-the-philippines/)

hmm... I assume that these organizations were funding the push  to destroy Duterte who was anti CIA (Because of drugs) and a bit pro China but later changed his mind and became anti China. So now they are anti USA and ignoring not only China's  aggression against the Philippines, but Chinese spying, corruption, drug involvement here, and that China   destroys local businesses by their cheap imports?

- **Campaign and Event Support**: ICHRP organizes events like conferences and solidarity missions, which may be funded through participant contributions, sponsorships, or grants from aligned organizations. For example, their 2013 conference in Quezon City and subsequent assemblies in Davao City (2016), Hong Kong (2019), and Bangkok (2023) likely involved logistical support from member organizations or external partners.[](https://ichrp.net/about/) Since no explicit list of funders is provided in the references, it’s reasonable to conclude that ICHRP’s operations are supported by a mix of grassroots donations, member contributions, and possibly grants from human rights-focused entities. For precise details, you would need to contact ICHRP directly through their website (ichrp.net) or check their financial disclosures, if available.

If available? Sheesh.

  because nothing says astroturf as a left wing organization run by an Australian activist  

Trump defunding USAID was about defunding these astroturf groups, so I suspect the reason they want the US to leave is because they hate anything linked to Trumpieboy even though Biden had the same policy.

Essentially giving up the Philippines so they can have peace in our time.

why does this sound familiar?
