I saw poverty right in the eye.
I saw how the farmers toil every day only to earn less than
what they spent and incur more debts from their landlords.
One afternoon while participating in their production work,
a farmer told me that he owns no land except for the soil in his fingers.
“Wala kaming pagmamay-aring lupa
kundi ang lupa sa aming mga kuko.”
