Dear President Macapagal Arroyo,

As you are aware, our delegation has come to investigate recent human rights violations and repression of political activists.

We are, thus very pleased to hear the words of your Press Secretary, Mr. Ignacio R. Bunye, which welcome our investigation.

Pursuant this welcoming message, we would like to request a meeting with you in order to discuss the points of pride Mr. Bunye refers to
with regard to the human rights record in the Philippines.

As part of our investigation we would, of course, like to hear your perspective on the cause of the persecutions as well as potential solutions to this problem.

We are available to meet at your convenience through May 31, 2006.

We look forward to discuss this very important situation with you.

Sincerely,
TINA MONSHIPOUR FOSTER
RACHEL LEDERMAN
