WATCH: Millie Kilayko, one of the original proponents of the 1980s ‘Star of Hope’ that helped raise funds for aid to poor communities during the sugar crisis, explains why the famous icon has re-appeared in Negros Occidental. Read:

BACOLOD CITY, Philippines – Nenita spent childhood at the family’s stall at the Burgos public market. The income from her parents’ small venture sent several children to school.

Bacolod artists Mikiboy Pama and Megumi Miura cut out stars for a grand installation that will be among the highlights of the March 11 grand rally of VP Leni Robredo and running-mate senator Kiko Pangilinan at the Paglaum Sports Complex. “They dictated what price they would pay sugarcane planters, regardless of the price of sugar in the world market or the domestic market,” said Jose Marie Montinola, a sugar planter.Marcos also appointed the same trading monopoly overseers to head banks that provided crop loans for the capital intensive industry.

The Star of Hope was launched to raise funds for food kitchens, supplement the incomes of sugar workers’ families, and train women in crafts and other livelihoods. When they’re not being made in makeshift home workshops, the new generation of the star of hope are made by inmates of the Negros Occidental provincial jail.

The poor will also be in the spotlight in a province where stark socio-economic contrasts continue to fuel unrest, Kilayko added.
