Because of the UP Board of Regent's decision to reclassify the Arboretum for PGH Diliman, I was reminded of UP's involvement in grabbing the lands of Los Baños farmers to give way for IRRI's expansion. The farmers couldn't do anything about it.

Grabe yung UP, ano? Nevermind na masisira ang kapaligiran, nevermind na may maaapektuhan na komunidad. Alang-alang sa commercialization, ibibigay nila ang lupa. O kung 'di kaya ay aagawin pa nila.

IRRI really ruined their lives. They were producing more than enough to sustain their needs, but because the government wanted to take their lands away, their livelihoods were affected.

With no other choice, farmers had to work under IRRI in order to earn money.
SABAW *UP Board of Regents' hahaha
