This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.

It was the most recent in a series of confrontations between the company and owners of the properties Sumifru leased for 25 years for their banana plantation in Tboli and Surallah towns, South Cotabato. Gelina Dulan, a landowner, told authorities who arrived to intervene in the cutting of banana plants, said they would only stop cutting if the company also halts its operations and talks with them.

The landowners sought the intervention of South Cotabato Governor Reynaldo Tamayo Jr., who had repeatedly warned that for Sumifru’s failure to pay the overdue taxes, the provincial government will ban the company from doing business in South Cotabato.
