Peasant Group Warns of More Chemical Poisoning in Davao Due to JPEPA

The Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas, in a statement issued today, warned that more chemical poisoning — such as the one that happened in the Tadeco banana plantation last Wednesday — might occur in Davao in the future due to the JPEPA, the treaty entered into by the Philippines and Japan that allows the trade between countries of toxic wastes.
