Actually it is unrelated to this - I was going to send the article anyway.
I was mildly surprised that it turned out to be even a little relevant to
the Scottish question!

I posted some stuff about the Philippines last year, but it was from Green
Left Weekly, which has only just resumed publication for this year.  I'm
sure there will be something in the next issue.  I might have forwarded
some stuff from International Viewpoint, too.

One thing to remember about the Philippines left is that it is extremely
fragmented and at least as sectarian as anything in the imperialist states.
