Davao city Administrator Wendell Avisado faces a lumad picket infront of City Hall, May 8. Datu Docris Daug, a tribal leader from barangay Daliaon Plantation, and lumads (indigenous people) from the K’tala-Bagobo tribe are asking Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s help in their quest for justice for slain tribal leader Dominador Diarog, who was killed April 29 when their house in sitio (subvillage) Kahusayan, barangay (village) Manuel Guianga in Calinan was strafed by unidentified men. The military blamed the New People’s Army (NPA) for the attack. But in a statement, the NPA denied having a hand in the strafing incident. Instead, the NPA pointed the culprits to be “working closely with the 73rd Infantry Battalion/Task Force Davao of the AFP at the behest of Apollo Quiboloy.” Quiboloy is known as a close friend of Duterte.

The pain of Emily Diarog’s wound lingers. The wife of slain tribal leader Datu Dominador Diarog was hit, together with her children aged, 4 and 8, in a strafing incident that killed her husband. Datu Diarog, a tribal leader in sitio (subvillage) Kahusayan, barangay (village) Manuel Guianga, Calinan, had resisted selling his two-hectare of land adjacent to Quibuloy’s prayer mountain amidst mounting pressures for him to do so, according to the lumad group Pasaka.

  1. katotohanan Says:

    Greg Canada offered 50,000 to buy the lot and Datu refused to sell. Greg Canada is a full-time worker and personal bodyguard of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy. Greg Canada is a brother of Ingrid Canada, the closest associate and International Administrator of Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy. Greg Canada as a full-time worker of the church has no means for his source of income and the money he has are all from the ministry itself because as a full-time worker, they do not work for wages. Interview some of the full-time workers so as to prove that Greg Canada is a full time worker and bodyguard of Quiboloy but do it surprisingly so they wont be coached for what they must say….
