FARMER PROTEST AGAINST CARPER by: Owen S. Bayog


Members of the National Federation of Sugar Workers (NFSW) marched to the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Office to protest against the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program with Extension and Reform (CARPER).  Militants say that it is an extension of their sufferings as they are deprived of land ownership since the said program began.


Outside the gates of DAR are grim faces of farmers who traveled from their respective haciendas and demand for land that they will call their own.
