TRUE REVOLUTIONARY. Thousands of peasants from Southern Mindanao, including old acquaintances, bid farewell to New People’s Army leader Valerio “Ka Richard” Mante Jr. as he is laid down to his final rest, September 30, in Forest Lake memorial park in Davao City. A former secretary-general of the progressive group Bayan before he joined the NPA, Mante is remembered well as a teacher, a cultural artist and a true soldier of the people.(davaotoday.com photos by Barry Ohaylan and Jonald Mahinay)
