Davao Oriental. View from the second floor of the barangay hall were we met with IP leaders of the Mandaya tribe. It is distressing to discover how corruption can penetrate even the smallest of towns, and how the people suffer for it.
The river meets the sea. Forty-five minutes from this tranquil view, a local government unit perpetuates illegal logging by receiving money from a logging company. It is no wonder then that despite government posturing, forests will continue to be razed to the ground; thousands will continue to die due to flashfloods.
