This report is irrevocably prejudiced by my own interests and hopelessly biased by my experiences, both of which are vested in the plight of the common people, in this case, of the Philippines. .... My purpose here is to share what I have discovered of the real 'other side', the experience of the victims, the silent hidden ones. I present it here because this perspective of 'the people' is increasingly giving shape to the way in which the Church in Asia is coming to understand its own identity. .... During the winter of 1980, I spent several months travelling in the Philippines". -- p. 6-7.; Contents: Thanks dated Vancouver, 1982 / D.G.E. -- Complexity: opening the back door -- Repression: the enslavement of a people -- Resistance: the struggle for humanity -- Testament: views from Filipino Christians -- Response: becoming good neighbours -- Resources.
