“Pangarap ko po sa buhay ay maging titser para makatulong ako sa kapwa ko Lumad,” Nessa (not her real name), a 12-year old Lumad, told the Collegian. The government deployed nine battalions of military agents in their region to act as the investment security forces of large-scale mining companies, according to reports from Save Our Schools Caraga movement.
