The Philippine National Police has once again demonstrated
their by now famous and dreaded technique in dispersal of demonstrations, the
PNP (Palo Nang Palo) method. Ten farmers and
youth sustained injuries when stick-wielding policemen dispersed their rally at
a military headquarters here Thursday, 13th Feb. 2014.
Also injured during the meleè was Pinoy
Weekly/Kilab Multimedia photojournalist Barry Ohaylan who was bleeding in the head after
being hit by a police officer.
According to Davao Today, the
farmers from the municipalities of Compostela, Pantukan, Maco and others in
Compostela Valley Province staged a rally at the Armed Forces of the
Philippines’ Eastern Mindanao Command in Panacan Thursday afternoon condemning
the military’s continued encampment in communities in the past months which
they said had sown fear among residents especially on children.
The Davao City Police arrived
and immediately dispersed the protesters, ignoring attempts by farmer leaders
to negotiate.
