Short video
In March 2003, comrades in Panay produced a short film, Panait sang Tumanduk which in the Kinaray-a language means a ritual of songs and dances for rain and a good harvest.
The video production, which runs for more than 20 minutes, discusses how the NPA successfully united the Tumanduk who live along the Aklan-Capiz-Iloilo border to oppose the seizure of 33,310 hectares of their ancestral lands by the Philippine Army�s 3rd Infantry Division.
The narration begins with the Panay people�s epic about Labawdungon�s struggle with foreigners and culminates with the beginning of the NPA�s organizing work among the Tumanduk and how from 1973 onwards the Tumanduk have regarded the NPA as a partner in their struggle to regain their ancestral lands.
Standing as a testimony to the firm unity between the Tumanduk and the NPA is Ka Bob (Ismael Giganto) who advanced from being a Tumanduk youth activist fighting for his tribe�s right to its ancestral lands to a responsible Communist Party cadre and a Red commander of the NPA. Ka Bob was martyred in a successful ambush against an SOT under Task Force Panay in February 2003.
