AMIN: Fight for the Lumads!
The Anak Mindanao (AMIN ) party-list today condemns in the strongest possible terms the brutal murder of anti-logging lumad leader and urges authorities in Gingoog City to immediately arrest the killers to give justice to him and other Higaonon people who have been killed fighting for their Constitutional and lawful rights defending their ancestral domain.
Higaonon leader Alberto “Berting” Pinagawa, who organized his community to move for the immediate cancellation of the Industrial Forest Management Agreement (IFMA) awarded to Southwood Timber Corporation (STC) in May 2008 covering 11,476 hectares of land in Barangay Anakan in Gingoog City and Minalwang in Claveria town was brutally killed while waiting for a habal-habal ride to a get-together in Barangay Kalipayan, Gingoog City on December 24.
