The Sumilao Farmers have been fighting for their land for ten years. This video is of Linda Ligmon and Peter Tuminhay, who has been part of the struggle since 1997.

This is an important issue of agrarian reform in the Philippines, and highlights the inequality that is experienced by minority groups.

Help support the Sumilao Farmers in getting their land!

  • Agrarian reform is really a 'pro-poor' policy. By pro-poor I mean it PROmotes POVERTY. Unjust ownership of land could easily be solved on a case to case basis through the court system. But noooo! The communists cannot distinguish between rightly owned property and unjustly owned property. They are obsessed with material equality which can only be achieved through violence and is therefore, immoral.

  • Mga TRAYDOR na INUPO na NAGLIPANA sa GOBYERNO..Mga hind-t na ang KONSEPTO ng bnsa ay UMIIKOT sa kanilang maliliit na PRETENSYOSONG mundo..90% ng Pinas ay RURAL ar BARRIOTIC/SQUATTERS,BASURA.MAG­PASALAMAT ka pinoy sa sarili mo..ang galing mo!!!

  • Our Bishops are unknowingly furthering the Communist cause by calling for the extension of the CARL. The CARP is Communist and has done nothing but destroy the agricultural industry and decrease production and inflict further ruin on the economy. That's what Commie programmes are designed to do: to sabotage the economy and create a 'revolutionary situation.'

  • The sumilao farmers and those who support them are obstacles to progress. It is good that the land be converted to agro-industrial so that it would yield more income and be better for the economy. The Sumilao Farmers are not savvy in business and would just waste the land. LONG LIV PROGRESS! DOWN WITH THE SUMILAO FARMERS!

  • the zoning was changed from agri to agri-industrial use and that CARP was scrap. quisumbing family sold that dirt to san miguel corp. to build a hogfarm, now those farmers will smell like pigs. SMC can buy justice and screw the poor. sir nasser is running the show and he is wearing that boots ready to kick the farmers ass back to brgy san vicenti while the whole cabinets waving goodbye with their middle fingers.

  • we pray for u all!!!kasama nyu kami sa inyong adhikain!!!

  • Ginawa na nila ito noon at hinding-hindi sila titigil haggang makamit nila ang nararapat na hustisya- ang pagkamit sa 144 hectares na lupa na sa habang panahon ay ipinagkait sa kanila.

  • Tuloy ang laban!ipatupad ang tunay na repormang agraryo!!! hindi to para sa iilan lamang na panginoong may lupa!!!

    Laban ng MAsa!!! patalsikin si GLORIA!!!

    MABUHAY ANG MGA PESANTE AT MANGINGISDA!!!

  • Gloria! wag kalimutan ang trabaho mo ay manilbihan para sa mga pilipino.
