Ciarra Flores, "fight back" 2022 / "In the Philippines, farmers continue to suffer from landlessness and exploitation akin to feudal times. Neoliberal policies promoted by the IMF-WBG such as regressive taxation, liberalised trade along with the scaling back of agricultural support and subsidies to farmers, so-called land reform initiatives that reinforce corporate and elite land monopoly, among others, exacerbate their impoverished conditions. Farmers assert their rights and sovereignty through various forms of struggle." - IBON International
