“We live in a society where those who would do good are those who would be put to jail while the real terrorists and killers are free and in government positions.”

The Lumad in Mindanao have been struggling for their land and right to self-determination.
Vast tracts of their ancestral domain have been eyed by big multinational corporations for various “development projects.” Military operations pave way for the entry of these projects, subjecting Lumad to all forms of attacks.
Bulatlat, as early as 2006, has been writing stories of Lumad’s miseries and resistance.
