Abstract:

Records of Friends of the Filipino People (FFP), an organization of U.S. citizens whose main purpose was to educate the American public about the Marcos dictatorship in the Philippines and to influence the government to change its policy of support. Goals included the elimination of U.S. economic and military aid, and provision of support to all those in the Philippines who opposed the Marcos regime. The collection mainly documents the group’s projects and education strategies.

The “Standing committee” files, “Statement on split in FFP,” and “Long story of FFP split” document an internal rift in the organization over policy and tactics.
