Muntinlupa City -- Farmers from Sumilao, Bukidnon who started a "walk for land, walk for justice" two months ago from Mindanao arrive in Muntinlupa, Metro Manila 3 December 2007 for the final leg of their 1,700 kilometer journey. They have renewed their call for the Department of Agrarian Reform to immediately issue a cease and desist order against the construction by San Miguel Corporation of a hog farm on the contested 144-hectare agricultural land. The farmers are demanding that the land be awarded back to them under the government's agrarian reform program. (PHOTO BY BUCK PAGO)
