August 1st

We talked about Emancipation Day (Aug 1). We also taked with Carol from Magkaisacentre about their recent event Roots, Rhymes and Resistance which seeks to empower and educate philipeano youth through art. We finally spoke with Marylynn Pouchchiche on the peaceful blockade at Barrier lake to preserve their indigenous form of governance and to oppose the recent attempts to impose an non-indigenous governance structure on her community.
