Lumad schools being used as tr'ng. ctrs. for NPA?! Why closed it? Can't the afp & pnp guard it? How 'bout the thousands students? WAG MUNA SILANG MAG-ARAL?! Billions of intel funds and this is all the gov't. can do! SHUT DOWN LUMAD SCHOOLS for 35,000 students! INCOMPETENT GOV'T.

Education is power and the government is denying them of that.
