According to Lumad students here in the Bakwit School, their parents called them a week earlier saying they were being forced by soldiers to participate in the demolition or else they will face trumped up charges and arrest if they fail to cooperate.
“Natatakot kami para sa aming pamilya doon dahil palagi daw sila binabantayan ng mga sundalo. Kahit nga sa pagtawag sa amin, kailangan pa nilang magtago dahil natatakot din sila para sa amin.” Chricelyn, a Grade 12 student said.
