Dear Sir/ Madam:
                               Greetings!

It’s already one year struggle and tragedy of Lourmah farmers since the execution of the 751 case. One year of starvation, infirmity and rage to 84 families who don’t have land to till. Despite of beseech to declare us as tenants, the judiciary hamper always. We’re continually convinced by the Abutons to surrender our rights. However, we stayed tough to our stands to deliberate us as person and as part of the society.

We learn to speak, to shout for our rights to life and human security stated in the International Humanitarian Law. This is the reason why we sustain and remain united until now. We studied the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Laws because we were already listed as qualified farmer beneficiaries but in essence we noticed it favorable to the landowner. For this reason, we’re not hoping the DAR to implement this sincerely.

Newly, we received a notice of demolition from the Regional Trial Court to demolish 28 houses that will start on June 3-7 and 10-14, 2013, despite the fact that we were recognized by the Department of Agrarian Reform Program as farmer beneficiaries. They’re tricking us the schedule of the demolition since April. They did not respect the Constitutional Law regarding gun band that will sustain up to June 30, not even recognizing the due process in Barangay Council nor the DILG.

In connection to this, we are requesting you to cover the occurrences to the above dates. Thank you and more power.

                                        Respectfully Yours,

                                       ALBERTO O. BALOLAO
                                                 Chairman
