Tireless, hardworking, and dedicated, the educator is greatly missed by students and other teachers.
The interests of national minorities are in place in the NDFP proposal for social and economic reforms.
Stories of courage and perseverance of Lumad students and teachers poured out at the gathering.
“Duterte continued the War on Terror policy which carried terrorism in our country and the whole world.”
Inspired by Fr. Fausto Tentorio, Miguel responded to the call of datus from Talaingod, Davao del Norte for volunteer teachers in 2013.
“Let us stand together in calling for peace in our country.”

“It’s government that is teaching us to become rebels."
'The whole country is becoming a killing field, in the cities and the countryside, we seriously demand a stop to killings and upholding of democratic rights of the people.'
On its second assembly, Sandugo takes stock of the past year under President Duterte.
“All of Duterte’s wars are really against the people.”
The Maranaos from Marawi have brought to the capitol their stories of suffering and their demand for justice.
Dubbed as Pambansang Lakbayan ng Pambansang Minorya, the members of national minorities under the flag of Sandugo are returning to Metro Manila on Thursday, August 31. They will camp out in UP Diliman, their main camp, and in two other satellite camps near other universities. They have scheduled mass meetings and delegations to various government offices until September 21, but they invite the public to meet with them in their camps or in their scheduled mass actions.
Similar tales of forced evacuation from their lands hounded the rest of the national minorities, spurring them to this second Lakbayan.

“We are appealing to the public, as well as the international community to unite and defend Lumad schools in Mindanao.”
At least one Lumad school comes under attack per week under the Duterte administration.
“Our hope for change under Duterte is rapidly eroding.”
