Book Description
The emergence of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) in the early 1990s represented the radicalization of the Filipino Muslim separatist movement. Despite the initial success of the joint Philippine and U.S. Balikatan exercise against the Abu Sayyaf in 2002, the ASG has continued to carry out attacks on lightly guarded or "soft" targets, the same way international terrorist groups have been known to do. The anarchic region of Central Mindanao has become a training base for Southeast Asian terror organizations and a refuge for Abu Sayyaf. The war on terrorism has changed the lives of the Filipinos and strained the capacities of the government. Over the years, the Philippines has fought terrorism in many ways. It has retaliated militarily, prosecuted terrorists, preempted terrorist attacks, implemented defensive measures, and addressed some of the causes of terrorism. To some degree, all suffer from limited effectiveness and applicability. This thesis analyzes the Philippine response to terrorism and determines how it should develop an effective strategy to counter terrorism. This study also discusses the government organizational structure and the problems faced by the Philippine government agencies in addressing the terrorism specifically posed by Abu Sayyaf. In addition, this thesis presents a case study of Abu Sayyaf by analyzing its organizational and operational tools in the maintenance of its terrorist capability. Finally, this thesis examines the government bureaucracy and its capability to respond to the threats posed by terrorism.

Book Description
The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks upon America's symbols of economic and military dominance were a challenge to America's present-day greatness, and a test for the Western values of life, liberty, and democracy. The United States' declaration of the global war on terrorism (GWOT), as an aftermath, was not a "call to arms" for the Americans alone. It was a call for unity and action for all the freedom-loving nations of the world against this modern-day scourge. American and Philippine security interests dovetail in this respect. The terrorist threat, which has known international, regional, and local linkages, has long besieged the United States and the Philippines. It is, therefore, in the mutual interest of both countries to explore the challenges and opportunities of their long-standing security cooperation in addressing the terrorist problem. This paper addresses the following topics: the definition of terrorism, the Global War on Terrorism, Al Qaida's linkages to Southeast Asia, the Al Qaida-Abu Sayyaf linkage, Philippine internal security concerns, Communist Party of the Philippines/New Peoples Army, Moro Islamic Liberation front, Abu Sayyaf group, Philippine Government's response to terrorism, the Armed Forces of the Philippines, U.S.-Philippine security relations, and the U.S.-Philippine response in combating terrorism.

Book Description
The attacks of the World Trade Center (WTC) in New york and the Pentagon in Washington on 11 September 2001, otherwise known as the 9/11 attacks, were considered to be acts of terrorism. Since then, the issue of terrorism is predominantly discussed in the international arena which includes Indonesia and the Philippines. Indeed, Indonesia and the Philippines experienced terrorism attacks before and after 9/11. In 2001 up to December 2004, there were 14 bombings in Indonesia which included the bombings in Bali, at the JW Marriot Hotel, and in front of the Australian Embassy in Jakarta. Meanwhile, the Philippines reported 25 bombing incidents since the 9/11 attack in 2001 until April 2003. They were among others, the 2 October 2002 bombing in Zamboanga City Sasa Wharf. Apart from bombings, the Philippines also experienced kidnapping as a mode of terrorism act. As counter terrorism response, both governments of Indonesia and the Philippines have taken policies and measures that would minimize if not eradicate the acts of terrorism. This study presented the historical roots of terrorism, and the profile of terrorist organizations, including suspected terrorists/terrorist groups considered to have link with the Al-Jama'ah Al-Islamiyah and the and the Al-Qaeda. It also gave a comparative analysis on policies and measures adopted by both countries vis-a-vis their effectiveness on the business sector. Primary date were collected through questionnaires and interviews of government officials in Indonesia and the Philippines who are directly involved in policies on counter terrorism. Also, the members of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and industry (KADIN) as well as other business people for the impact of counter terrorism policies on the business sector. The bombing and kidnapping perpetrators, presently detained in Muntinlupa at the Maximum Penalty Jail were also considered as respondents of the survey and were likewise given questionnaires. Secondary data were collected from related studies on the matter published on books, journals, and newspapers considered by the researcher for the study. Using the 'Macro-Causal Analysis' as part of a comparative historical analysis proposed by Skocpol, the findings of the study indicated that there were some similarities on the historical roots of terrorism in both countries which are: (1) the use of religion as part of their political ideology; and (2) the willingness to establish an Islamic state with the implementation of the Islamic Shari'a Law. The differences were discovered in the policies on counter terrorism in Indonesia and in the Philippines, due to different society background, the type of terrorist groups, the historical relationship of each country with other countries, and the foreign policy direction. Indonesia emphasized the lealistic aspects, repressive response and bilateral as well as multilateral cooperation. Whereas, the Philippines used military force, repressive response, conciliatory process, legalistic aspects as well as through bilateral relations especially with the US and multilateral cooperation. In finding out the effectiveness of counter terrorism policies in the business sector, the researcher used four (4) indicators i.e. whether the policies on counter terrorism would (1) lessen the frequency of terrorist attacks; (2) increase business activities; (3) prevent the capital flight to overseas; and, (4) increase the flow of foreign direct investments. The result is hypothesized that for Indonesia, counter, counter terrorism policies are not the only determinant to improve its economic condition. Currently, Indonesia is still recovering from the pangs of the 1997 Asian economic crisis. On the Philippine side, it is predicted that its policies on counter terrorism have a lot of impact for the betterment of the business sector.

Book Description
This book talks about the cause of continues terrorism in the Philippines. Some biblical research reveals that the Greed or the love of money and power are the root cause of all evil desire as mentioned in the Holy Scripture, the Bible. Findings also show that Illiteracy, less education made people short sighted in life and narrow mindedness prone to terrorism and rebellious ideology. While this book reveals huge amount of Military Assistance to the Philippines from different countries, particularly from the United States and other nations, it turned the government officials and military corrupt. The US Military Aid leads to dependence and corruption in the government or military that seem to fan the fire of terrorism rather than ending it. GAOs recommendation requires government accountability and comprehensive policy to make sure Anti-terrorism funds will be used as intended. It explores that the war of terror is not going to be won with bombs and weapons, but through Literacy, education, and economic development programs win the hearts and minds of the people subdued by terroristic ideology.
