From the Visayan Daily Star (Nov 6): Militants hold rally
The Bagong Alyansang Makabayan and its affiliate organizations held a rally in front of the fountain of justice at the old Bacolod City Hall, with placards showing statements on issues on homelessness, land reform, human rights, and justice for the killings in Sagay City recently, among others.
In a statement, Bayan said that the democratic revolution led by Andres Bonifacio and Dionesio Magbuelas or “Papa Isio” should be continued as they played significant roles in the country and in Negros Occidental to pursue freedom and liberation, and free distribution of land.
The statement also said that revolutionary leader Papa Isio was betrayed by big landlords in the province for his advocacy to distribute lands to the farmers for free.
Bayan also said that landlords want to erase the history of the revolutionists through criminalizing them for pursuing land reform.
It claimed the Escalante massacre and the recent Sagay killing were among the activities made to stop farmers from claiming lands through genuine land reform.
