ON JUNE 10, progressive organizations of farmers, fisherfolk and land rights advocates led by Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas protested before the DAR in Quezon City in conjunction with the 36th year of CARP. They condemned the rottenness of the longest, most expensive, and most repressive “land reform.”

Farmers from Bulacan who were victims of the bogus CARP participated in the protest. Some of them are from the towns of San Mateo and Norzagaray who were evicted from their farmland in 2018. Also present were farmers from San Jose del Monte City who are being robbed of their land by landlords and big developers who converted the use of farmland.
