February 13, 2021 A 23-HECTARE land awarded under the government’s Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (Carp) has been slowly turned into a vegetable garden in Tacloban City following the initiative of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR).
DAR-Eastern Visayas Regional Director Ismael Aya-ay also planned to simultaneously conduct Farmer Field School to the 20 members of the New Kawayan-Cabalawan Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Farmers’ Association in the city “to sustain the initial project and eventually spread its area until the entire 23 hectares have been covered.”
The regional office initially utilized a one-hectare lot for the planting of fast yielding crops such as kangkong, pechay, lettuce, okra and pepino “to contribute to the sufficient supply of food in the city and neighboring towns, aside from providing livelihood to the farmers.”

As an alternative media, it was expected to actively report on the worsening extrajudicial killings – at least one activist killed per week – and other forms of human rights violations under a bloody counterinsurgency campaign spearheaded by the now-convicted former General Jovito Palparan Jr.
While these were covered by
Bulatlat, human rights stories seldom hogged the headlines in the dominant media. This situation was similar to the early days of the late President Corazon Aquino, where, in the guise of upholding “news values” and blindly working on the narrative that “democracy” has been restored, human rights violations were no longer considered newsworthy.
