Farmers file charges vs. retired general for alleged harassment

-
More than 20 farmers and some barangay officials from barangay Tabunan, Cebu City went to the Service and Security Group at the Cebu City Police Office to file a case against Kantipla Ecosystem Enhancement Protection Foundation and its founding chairman Tiburcio Fusilero for the alleged harassment he had done on farmers.

Barangay councilman Joselito Alindajao said "nakasinati gyud og mga harassment ang mga farmers. Una, mao ang pagpangguba sa mga payag. Ikaduha, pagpangilog sa mga uma nga sila na ang motanom sa limpyo na nga uma/daruhan. Ikatulo, pagpani-on; ikaupat, pagpamun-og ug pagpamusil sa kahayupan."

He added that there were four men from the KEEP Foundation who permanently went up the mountain and harassed the farmers. "Among ikiha ang KEEP Foundation tungod sa mga harassment sa ilang mga tawo sama pananglit anang si Jessie Tibanan, Ronnie Agubar, Rudy Estrada ug civilian asset Cristituto Ruwasa, mao na sila ang permanente nga moadto sa bukid ug mang-harass sa mga mag-uuma," Alindajao said.

Farmers filed their complaints at the Service and Security Group since this was a police matter. "This is a police matter so diri gyud ang proper filing. Kuhaan ni sila og affidavit then buhatan og complaintship nga isang-at sa prosecutor's office," P/Supt. Mariano Natuel said.

Meanwhile, Fusilero disclosed there was selling of land to private people, which is wrong because the area is declared a watershed. But Alindajao stressed, "Tinuod dili na angayan, pero wala magbaligya ang tag-iya sa luna sa ilang yuta kon dili naa silay internal agreement sa mga kapitalista nga makakaya kay mga pobre man ang nanag-iya diha. Naa silay internal agreement nga ilang gipa-finance ang maong luna unya naa silay sharing basis nga 50%," - Greggy V. Omayan
