As we celebrate the 32nd Cordillera Day on April 24, 2016, the Cordillera Peoples Alliance (CPA) retraces the culture of courage, bravery and determination of the Cordillera peoples for the defense of land, life and resources. It is by learning these stories of resistance and struggles of our people that we can draw inspiration to continue the unfinished tasks ahead. From 1981 to present, the battle cry of our ancestors for the defense of land, life and resource never changed. More than ever, it is becoming an urgent task to defend the remaining resources from the State and multinational corporations.
