The group is a regional chapter of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) in the Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon) region.
“The farmers have grown tired of the inaction of their local government units and have decided to troop to the national capital to air their demands,” KMP chair Danilo Ramos said.
