MOTHER’S LOVE. Lumad (indigenous peoples) women from Compostela and Monkayo towns take care of their children in evacuation sites. Fearing for their lives, the evacuees left Compostela gym, where they first took refuge, to travel to Davao City (three to four hours by bus), after government troops frequent the gym to lecture the evacuees about their enemies, the Communist New People’s Army. They want to go back home if the military troops leave them and their communities in peace. (davaotoday.com photo by Barry Ohaylan)
