Ranging from three to five days, Mission participants will visit actual sites:

  • Large-scale mining
  • Landgrabbing by foreign multinational companies
  • Strikes, other trade union struggles, and in worker communities
  • Forced evacuation and the plight of internal refugees due to militarization in the countryside
  • Forced eviction and relocation sites in the urban areas
  • Targeted areas of extensive political repression

Your attendance in this conference and the International Solidarity Mission will be very valuable in strengthening international support to the Filipino people in their fight against the ever-worsening human rights violations and the Aquino government’s utter disregard for the people’s legitimate rights.
