Hey there! I’m Ellein Richel M. Romero, 17 years of age, a grade 11 humanista of PLV. What I love about technology is, it makes some of my schoolworks easy! Also, I really love watching in youtube because I always watch my idol’s performances in there. Another app that I really like using these days is twitter. This blue-bird app keeps me updated on whatever that is happening in our country. It delivers me various news starting off with celebrities up to the most important news about the government and also to our indigenous brothers & sisters. Now people, I believe that technology made it easy for us to connect with each other; may our website (revelateur.inc) together with our other social media accounts, help us to spread awareness and information regarding our Lumad brothers & sisters. Walk with us. I have confidence that us, the youth, can led us for the brighter future.

Help needed
However, bringing almost nothing with them, the indigenous peoples from Mindanao are in urgent need of sleeping mats, pillows, and blankets.
They will be staying in makeshift tents made mostly out of tarpaulins.
The #StopLumadKillings network is calling for donations of supplies for the travellers. Donations of supplies – such as food, medicine, and drinking water – are also welcome.
For those who want to help, please proceed to the Kampuhan grounds, located near the College of Human Kinetics grounds, right beside Vanguard Hall. You may also contact Bryle at 0927-974-3012.
The #StopLumadKillings network is also accepting meal pledges for the Lumad. P50 would be enough to fund one meal for a Lumad in Manila. Contact Beata at 0905-112-6421 for inquiries. – Rappler.com

On Sept. 1, 2015 educator Emerito Samarca and two Lumad leaders, Dionel Campos and Aurelio Sinzo, who opposed large scale mining, were brutally murdered in Lianga, Mindanao. According to local reports, the men were killed in the heart of the community by members of the Maghat/Bagani paramilitary group, attached to the 36th Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army.
Speaking at COP21 in Paris, Clemente Bautista, National Coordinator for Kalikasan PNE, described how the Armed Forces of the Philippines and affiliated paramilitaries are implicated in the terrorization of Indigenous and peasant peoples.
“The government is using militarization to protect corporate mining in the Philippines. They use the state military forces including paramilitaries to secure mining projects, quell the people’s resistance, and sow fear among the people, particularly those in mining-affected communities. Mining corporations, military and paramilitary groups employ violence such as harassment, illegal arrest and assassination, targeting anti-mining leaders”, he said.
The killings of Samarca, Campos and Sinzo are the latest in a spate of murders that has seen 56 Lumad leaders assassinated for protecting their lands and communities.
The ‘Lianga Massacre’, as it has become known, sparked international outrage and a day of solidarity and action that called on the Philippine Government to Stop Lumad killings. But the more diffuse consequences of the terror these kinds of killings are designed to produce have been underreported outside of the Philippines.
The relentless persecution of the Lumad People is creating a climate of terror in Mindanao that is profoundly impacting the freedom of the Lumads to live their lives freely.
In their statement before the three-day Lakbayan, organizing group Soscskargends Agenda revealed how the rising tide of violence in Mindanao has contributed to the internal displacement of up to 40,000 Lumads. The Lianga Massacre alone forced over 3,000 local Lumads to flee their isolated villages in Surigao del Sur to nearby towns, fearing for their lives.
The constant threat of violence in Mindanao and the panic migrations that result are having a particularly negative impact on Indigenous children. According to Soscskargends Agenda, at present 9 out of 10 Lumad children have no access to formal education and 87 Lumad schools are suffering from “various forms of military violence”.
“The 36th IB Philippine Army-Magahat/Bagani rampage at the ALCADEV School shows that the Aquino government has dropped all pretenses of adhering to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international human rights instruments”, say the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines.
The Lakbayan gave the groups involved an opportunity to elevate these underrepresented issues and create a platform for several urgent demands.
The groups are calling upon the Philippine government, first and foremost, to stop the killing of Lumad people, protect indigenous and peasant schools in Mindanao, and pull the plug on the large scale multinational mining projects that they say are helping fuel poverty and violence in the Philippines.

In a makeshift classroom at the University of the Philippines College of Home Economics in Diliman, Quezon City, a “lumad” (indigenous people) student writes the words “Iskolar ng Bayan” (people’s scholar) on his notebook with careful strokes, as he listens to the day’s lesson in Araling Panlipunan (social studies).
He is among the 70 lumad students from Grades 3 to 11 that UP Diliman has been hosting since Feb. 8 at a “bakwit school,” or school for evacuees displaced from Mindanao.
“It is important to know our roots — our common heritage as Filipinos — so we can move forward,” a volunteer teacher from the Raya School of Quezon City tells them.
The bakwit school offers regular classes with volunteer teachers from various Metro Manila schools.
The aim is to help the lumad students finish the curriculum prescribed by the Department of Education (DepEd), after they were displaced from their communities in July last year.
