Maka-masa, maka-lumad, at laban sa corporate interests. Kaya kaya itinumba si Padre Tentorio.
"Kusog
sa Katawhang Lumad (KALUMARAN) said in its statement that Fr. Fausto
had criticized the military for its operations in the community and
pronounced the "peace and development" programs in Arakan Valley as
contrary to the aspirations of the people. He has stood firm against
agri-business plantations and other
corporate business interests in the area. His work has brought anger
among local tribal dealers and government officials who want to reap
profits from the ancestral domain of the Manobo and other tribes in the
area. In 2003, Fr. Fausto was almost killed by paramilitaries but he was
defended by the community."
