MANILA – The Rural Missionaries of the Philippines (RMP) decried that the continued demonization of their work “has negatively affected various ministries in sustainable agriculture, rural schools, disaster risk reduction, climate change mitigation, health services, defense of human rights, and organic farming.”
The 53-year-old non-government organization of priests, nuns and lay persons is facing yet another case. On August 15, the Department of Justice filed 55 counts of violation of the Section 8 of the Terrorism Financing Prevention and Suppression Act of 2012 or RA 10168 before the regional trial court of Iligan City. The case is non-bailable.
