IPs to int’l community: ‘Help save our culture, youth from dying’

FILE: ‘HELP US.’ Datu James Binayao, a leader of the Manobo-Talaandig Tribe in Maramag, Bukidnon, tells the guests of a forum titled “A Conversation with Indigenous Peoples of the Philippines” on Sept. 20 that CPP-NPA groups use front organizations with a vast knowledge of the Constitution to deprive the IPs of their ancestral domains. The IPs are seeking help from the international body to back their cause against the CPP-NPA, which they blamed for the killings and grabbing of their ancestral domains. (Contributed photo via PNA)
