Sumilao farmers are on their way to Manila. They are currently in San Pedro, Laguna. They are staying at Poblacion Covered Court, which is 300 meters away from San Pedro Catholic Church.
Tomorrow morning, at exactly 6:00 AM, they’ll be reaching the first city stop in the National Capital Region—Muntinlupa City—and at this point in time, we would like to invite everyone to meet and welcome Sumilao farmers at Alabang Barangay Hall near Muntinlupa Public Market at 9:00 AM. Madadaanan lang po ang Alabang Barangay Hall if you are going to Filinvest Center or Festival Mall.
From Alabang Barangay Hall, they’ll be having their lunch at Children’s Haven Covered Court at DSWD Compound in front of Alabang Town Center and from there they’ll proceed to St. Andrew Cathedral at La Huerta, Paranaque City.
Hopefully, you can meet and interact with Sumilao farmers on their arrival in Metro Manila.
The Sumilao farmers, fifty four (54) of them, will be joined by thirty seven (37) farmers from Barangay Baha-Talibayog, Calatagan, Batangas in the entire Metro Manila leg of the walk. Calatagan farmers were expressing solidarity to Sumilao as they too have a case pending at the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) for immediate resolution against the San Miguel Corporation’s subsidiary Asturias Chemical Industries.
For the details of the Sumilao Walk, you may contact me through text for updates: 0920-9506901 or you may check my twitter as I’ll be twitting about it.

“My personal revenge will be to tell you good morning
On a street without beggars or homeless
When instead of jailing you I suggest
You shake away the sadness there that blinds you
And when you who have applied your hands in torture
Are unable to look up at what surrounds you” (quoted from the song My Personal Revenge)
