It’s been 38 days since Calatagan farmers left their homes to assert their land rights over 507 hectares of land being grabbed by Ramon Ang for mining purposes and as classes resume this June, the marchers who camped out at the DAR [Department of Agrarian Reform] today need assistance in providing bags, notebooks, pens, pencils and other school supplies for 20 high school and 28 elementary students they left behind. Hope we can donate in whatever little way.
You can bring your donations to the farmers’ camp in front of the Department of Agrarian Reform main office in Quezon Memorial Circle, Quezon City.
UPDATE: There have been some changes with their location, for your donations please contact Mr. Gari Lazaro at 0920-9506901 or drop them off at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources office [DENR].
*Many thanks to Liz for posting this bulletin in her blog as this allows us to know that something should be done. I haven't seen any media network look after the other plight of the farmers.

thanks for posting this here. oo nga, the media concentrated on the sumilao farmers, selective or nagsawa na ata kaya they didn't give much attention to them.
