Despite clamor for access to social services amid the quarantine, the Duterte regime served Lumad communities and schools nothing but harassment, violence!

We call on everyone to stand with the Lumad amid red-tagging and military violence!

Attacks against Lumad schools has only surged since the onset of Duterte's presidency. Under his martial law in Mindanao, hundreds of Lumad have been attacked by the military & paramilitary, expelling them from their ancestral lands to serve foreign investors.

The attacks only continued despite the global pandemic. Cases of coercion, threats, and intimidation were faced by Lumad students and teachers alike, some of whom stuck in Lumad school campuses due to lockdowns.

LGU officials and even the Department of Educaiton facilitate some cases of violence against the Lumad.

Worst of all, DepEd, which should instead serve the needs of the IP youth, FORCIBLY SHUT DOWN the last Lumad school in Davao del Oro!
