Today’s View: The Princess of her people
(First of a three-part column) By AMIRA ALI LIDASAN Davao Today We can see the worry in the face of Princess Jacel as she updates her father, her emotional appeal to end the attack against her father’s men, and her anger at Pres.

By destroying their land and heritage, we are destroying their future and our history.
