But before this had happened, the Lichauco Paper had created a furor in the Constitutional Convention and, after publication in serial form. throughout the Philippines.

520			_aThis paper is one of the most important documents in the recent history of the Philippines. It is a declaration of the sovereign right of a people to resist and throw off foreign imperialist domination, and an analysis of the way imperialism works in the Philippines. Since its author represents a small left grouping among the national bourgeoisie of the Philippines, the radicalism of the document is more or less restricted to anti-imperialism, and the class and power relationships within Philippine society are left untouched. But the very fact of the origins of this paper in bourgeois nationalism indicate the depth of the crisis in the Philippines. The Lichauco Paper was written for the Constitutional Convention which opened in June 1971 to change the Constitution of 1935. Alejandro Lichauco, formerly president of the Philippine Petroleum Association and executive vice-president of the Anglo-Philippine Oil and Mining Corporation, was one of seven delegates from the 1st District, Rizal, the largest and most populous district represented in the Convention. The Committee on Declaration of Principles and Ideology, of which he was a member, voted a proposal the adoption of which would make it mandatory for the government and people of the Philippines to "resist and repel" Imperialism, and this paper was submitted to the Convention in support of that proposal. The Constitutional Convention was dissolved by President Marcos to prevent the adoption of a constitution with a number of nationalist provisions
