Get involved!
Ten years after the farmers of Sumilao were granted their right to own their land, they STILL HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN JUSTICE. They've chosen to do something about it:
They are marching from Sumilao (that's in Bukidnon) all the way to Manila to protest the lack of action from the government in restoring what is rightfully theirs. And by marching, I literally mean walking.
The farmers need P10, 000 per day for their nearly three-month journey. I just decided today to be committed to what I believe in, and I believe in every human being having what is rightfully theirs. Help me take a stand to bring justice to the farmers of Sumilao.
How can you help? You can sign the on-line petition from http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sumilaofarmers/
The goal is to get at least 1 Million signatures.
You can also donate to PAKISAMA, the NGO that's helping the farmers. Visit http://sumilaomarch.multiply.com and email them to ask for the bank account for the Sumilao farmers.
Patunayan natin sa lahat na kaya natin 'to. Patunayan natin sa lahat na merong tunay na hustisya sa Pilipinas. :)
It all starts with you.
(salamat kay pj for this post)
