They face issues of extrajudicial killings, military oppression, and loss of ancestral lands to mining and logging.

SOCIETAL ISSUES
LUMADS ARE FACING
LUMAD KILLINGS
The history of violence and unwarranted (extrajudicial)
killings of Lumad at the hands of military, paramilitary,
and private security forces is in the hundreds, with the
arrest and torture Lumad activists in the thousands.
Fifty-six percent of Philippine military have been
deployed to the Mindanao region. Today many of the
Lumad have sought safety and shelter in evacuation
centers where they and other victims of war are
crowded into small spaces, lacking sanitary conditions
and food, and endure harassment by local police
including sexual harassment.

IPRA 1987
ART. XIV, SEC.I
SAVE LUMAD
SCHOOLS!
ART. XIV, SEC. 2.4
ART. XIV, SEC. 17

Much has been said against schools for an indigenous


people, called the Lumads, contributing to an overall
misconception of the value of such venues.
The existence of Lumad schools had been threatened
since President Rodrigo Duterte accused them of being
members or enablers of communist rebels in Mindanao.

PROTECT IP'S,SERVE THEM EQUAL RIGHTS!

Where there is oppression there is resistance. The Lumad


have organized protest actions against mining,
extrajudicial killings, and the militarization of their
communities, and have led “Manilakbayan” people’s
caravans from Mindanao to Manila where they have built
unity with Moro and peasant communities and other
oppressed sectors in Mindanao and, together, have
brought these people’s demands to the national capital.
There are some young Lumad that say, because the IPRA 1987
repression suffered by their community is so bad, at times
they consider joining the New Peoples Army. In fact, some
Lumad do engage in armed resistance to defend their
ancestral lands, as Lumad have done since time
immemorial, from fending off logging corporations using
