1st image: Indigenous Panay-bukidnon smiles are precious. No amount of money can take away their land, lives and livelihood. They promised to die protecting their land for future generations. And we promised to do so as well. For the IPs, and for the Filipino people. 2nd image: Waiting to be bulldozed. Tens of IP houses are now waiting for their final eviction by the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) for the canal construction of the Jalaur mega dam project. A pet project funded with Php450 million from DAP of Senator Franklin Drilon. Comprehensive and detailed relocation plan and compensation however remain a promise until now.
