Oplan Bayanihan turns into Oplan Sarilihan

WHAT the government claims to be and names Oplan Bayanihan seems to turn into Oplan Sarilihan. Lumads, the indigenous people residing in Mindanao, became the target of the tremendous killings yhat started on September 1. Tribal leaders and educators were killed in front of the Lumad community in their own territory –in the room of the Alcadev school that has formed the dreams of many Lumad youths.

This phenomenon is said to have been perpetrated by the military groups appointed by the government; however, some reverses the finger-pointing to the New People’s Army, denying the military’s involvement in the Lumad killings.
