Call for support and media coverage:
A Community Demonstration in Brgy. Libertad, Kauswagan, LND 

 About 300 individuals from the GN Power relocation area will be demonstrating in Libertad Highway in Brgy. Libertad, Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte this coming Monday-May 18, 2015 at 6:00 to 8:30 in the morning.  The march rally will start at the Foot Bridge and will end in the Barangay Hall.

With the fear that the current instrument being used for tenurial arrangement will jeopardize their full ownership over the lots and houses which they presently occupied and possessed, the demonstration aims to express such sentiments to the authorities and GN Power-the very company that displaced them from their communities during the construction of the 540 megawatt coal-fired power plant in more than 100 hectares of land between Brgy. Tacub and Brgy. Libertad.

The community is calling out for support from human rights organizations and for coverage from media outfits especially that their request for “Rally Permit” from the municipal government and their request for “Assistance and Security” from the Philippine National Police were not granted.

    1. Ang protesta bukas ay hindi pa patungkol sa itinatayong power plant kung hindi dahil maniningil ang mga apektadong residente sa mga ipinangakong kabayaran sa kanila ng may-ari ng power plant. Ipoprotesta din nila ang usufruct agreement na pilit na pinapipirmahan sa mga relocated families...

  3. THe writer badly needs a writing lesson -- "With the fear that the current instrument being used for tenurial arrangement will jeopardize their full ownership over the lots and houses which they presently occupied and possessed, the demonstration aims to express such sentiments to the authorities and GN Power-the very company that displaced them from their communities during the construction of the 540 megawatt coal-fired power plant in more than 100 hectares of land between Brgy.
