ICYMI: A Dumagat tribe leader in the Sierra Madre mountain ranges died from an illness he kept secret from his colleagues after participating in the nine-day 150-kilometer protest march against the controversial Kaliwa Dam last month.
Hernanie Guevarra, 47, leader of a tribal community in the mountain village of Pagsangahan in General Nakar in Quezon province, was buried on Sunday, according to Dumagat leader Marcelino Tena.Tena said Guevarra kept his respiratory illness secret so he could join the protest march from Quezon province to Malacañang to raise their concern before President Marcos.
On Feb. 15, more than 300 members of the indigenous community from the Sierra Madre and representatives of multisectoral organizations started the march to dramatize their opposition to the dam project that would inundate their villages. However, they were not allowed to get close to Malacañang and failed to meet the President.
