Through this play, SINAGBAYAN hopes to donate proceeds to Defend Negros Network, an organization that calls for real land reform and acknowledges human rights violations in Negros Occidental.
The play was first launched on September 19, but SINAGBAYAN has steadily commemorated the Escalante massacre to helpin undermining dissent and attempts to revise the narratives among the plight of farmers.
As part of the protest, she emphasized other similar events that happened in Negros, as well as relevant commemorations in November such as the Hacienda Luisita massacre and Ampatuan massacre which all involved civilians and farmers. Kapag Pilipino ka at kumakain ka, kailangan mo suportahan yung mga magsasaka. Kahit anong administrasyon pa ‘yan, napaka evident ng massacre among farmers. May Hacienda Luisita Massacre, may Escalante Massacre, may Negros 14, may Sagay 9, especially sa Negros.
By tying the production to its home community, ensemble cast member Jules Azaula hopes that these experiences become more tangible to the audience by allowing them to learn, feel, and empathize with the Negrosanon people. A FARMER’S STRUGGLE. The Indi na Maliwat show in Marikina is one of many to be held around the Philippines in order to voice out the plight of local farmers.
