Support our Lumad fellow Filipinos’ protest

FROM all the provinces that still have Filipinos who are indigenous peoples (IPs)--Aetas, Bagobos, Bilaans, Higaonons, Suban-ons, Igorots (we just wrote down names at the top of our head), and some 80 or more other native peoples who are exactly like our ancestors before they were Westernized--more than 20,000 of them will arrive in Metro Manila on Monday, October 26. Most of them are already in provinces adjacent to Manila.

The most publicized contingent is that from Mindanao. That’s because the latest and most media-covered atrocities against the Lumads have happened there of late.
