Police violently disperse farmer's campout

May 22, 2009 police and security personnel violently dispersed the peaceful camp-out of farmers at the south gate of the House of Representatives. The farmers, coming from different rural communities in the country, were lobbying for the passage of Anakpawis Partylist’s Genuine Agrarian Reform Bill. The camp-out also caters Anakpawis Partylist representative Joel Maglunsod’s temporary office, which until now has not been given office inside congress. The photo exhibit commemorating Ka Cripsin Beltran’s first death anniversary was not even spared from the dispersal.
