Traveling around the Manila area and the island of Negros, which are the killing fields under President Duerte, they met with survivors of massacres, family members who lost loved ones, human rights and development workers who experience daily harrassment and death threats and met with farmers detained on false charges.

This event is for anyone who wants to learn more about the human rights situation in the Philippines and the role of United Methodist and other people of faith in ministry amidst the crisis.

We will also welcome Fr. Ben Alforque, MSC from the Philippines to share his first hand experiences in how church people are on the front lines with communities under attack.
