stay safe everyone!

I'm from Mindanao and haven't heard about this, not even from the news. good to know though. Thanks for sharing

Even though I don't live in the Philippines, I have family that does. Tnx for sharing.

So basically
LUMADS are a group of indigenous people in Southern Philippines. They are being allegedly killed by the military of the Philippines as a way of eradicating them. The government is basically being blamed for this because the president is the one who controls the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines)
The lumads are being chased from their homes and are one by one, being killed. The first three victims were working to help these communities attain the BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS that the government failed to provide.

The two killings were done IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE COMMUNITY during the wake of the first victim.
IF THAT DOESN'T SPELL LACK OF HUMAN RIGHTS, what else does?

Still no news here, I sure hope they do something about it. Unlike most of the issues tat were buried with pointless propaganda and show business news. Sorry if I'm a little rattled, the vice president visited my university yesterday and it was burning!

Just recently, seven hundred Lumads were welcomed in UP Diliman but they are being watched by military agents. QCPD took custody of the said agents but the operation was supposedly authorized (They were locating a target inside the campus,apparently). Police and military presence are prohibited inside schools and universities and yet the military keeps them under surveillance. Very fishy indeed...

Speaking of killings a video was put on the news. If any of you heard of sam dubose then you know he was shot and killed in his car.
just saying

there has already been a thread for this , but I'm glad peole are getting to know this .
