Бедняки городов Филиппин #OccupyBulacan 6000 свободных домов
Восьмого марта, в Международный женский день, женщины Филиппин и члены организации КАДАМАЙ (KADAMAY) повели большую группу тех, кто живет в местах переселения в район Булакан (Bulacan), на акцию захвата примерно 5 280 пустующих домов. Правительство ответило на эту массовую акцию отнюдь не дружелюбно. Правительственные чиновники организовали продуктовую блокаду и постоянные угрозы и преследования против бедняков Филиппин.
