Dispersal Of Protesting Farmers In Kidapawan City, North Cotabato Turned Violent And Deadly4/3/2016 See the videos of the encounters below. The farmers have been in protest and blockading the national highway without permits for four days already which prompted the government officials to act to resume normal business activities in the city. The governor said it was just a clearing operation and not a dispersal to reclaim the national highway for she acknowledged the rights of all those in protest to rally. The policemen also exercised maximum tolerance and the videos showed how the rallyists turned violent, throwing stones and anything else on the police. Allegedly, there were thousands of rallyists on that day and the question remains if those were all farmers or not for there were representations from various groups who were there at the rally. The Commission On Human Rights are now looking into the bloody encounter to know how it all came to be and who will be to blamed for. The farmers were demanding rice from the local governments units in the wake of the dry spell that has been ravaging many parts of the country mainly because of the ongoing El Niño phenomenon.
