		<description>The history of struggle against the banana plantations and the growership scheme started in 1991-1992. I was working with fr. Maybuena to educate people of the injustices that the plantation would cause to the people.. we were proven right. The laborers must asset their rights for it id their God-given gift and mandate! Long live the compostela workers! and onward with your struggle!</description>
