400 hectares of farm lands. 800 rice farming families.

They are the target possible casualties if the Central Mindanao University administration decides to lease out the said lands to big agri-businesses to produce cash crops.

On previous occasions, the administration has responded violently to protesting farmers and their supporters by dispersing mass actions and forcing the farmers out of their lands.

An international fact finding mission even confirmed that security guards working for the university administration were responsible for shooting protesting farmers on June 22, 2007, nearly killing several, including women.

Please express your support to this cause and salvage both the lands and the farming families whose only survival is planting rice.
