In this video, Dr. Romeo Quijano, a PANAP Steering Council member, speaks about the continued persecution from the banana plantation industry in the Philippines. In 2000, the now-defunct The Philippine Post published Dr. Quijano’s extensive research entitled “Poisoned Lives” that exposes the pesticide poisoning in LADECO banana plantations.

This after he has been slapped with a complaint of “unprofessionalism” before the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) for “spreading lies” that supposedly hurt the local banana industry. We believe that the revival of an already dismissed case against Dr. Quijano does not only threaten his life and liberty but also meant to undermine the people’s campaign to protect public health and the environment from the obvious harmful impact of pesticides.
