For years, the Tumandok community has been at the forefront of the struggle against the Jalaur dam. But instead of heeding their legitimate concerns, the govt has responded with threats and killings.

"From Panay to Seoul, let our voices echo those who have been silenced. Let us continue to tell the stories of the Tumandok—their pain, their courage, and their enduring hope for a future where their rights are respected and their self-determination is realized."

"These stories form the foundation of our continuing struggle—for the lives lost, the lands taken & the livelihoods destroyed by the Jalaur Mega Dam project.
For a week, we brought the voices of the Tumandok to the institutions responsible for their displacement and suffering."
