Katribu Kalipunan ng Katutubong Mamamayan ng Pilipinas, together with allied organizations, will hold a protest calling for justice for the victims of the indiscriminate strafing and aerial bombings carried out by the 203rd Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) against Mangyan-Iraya communities in Sitio Mamara, Brgy. Cabacao, Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro on January 1, 2026.

The attacks killed three Mangyan-Iraya children and student researcher Jerlyn Rose Doydora. Fil-Am youth activist Chantal Anicoche remains in the custody of the AFP’s 2nd Infantry Division despite no case having been filed against her.

The protest forms part of the Black Friday actions condemning intensified militarization in Mindoro, particularly in Abra de Ilog, and calling for the defense of Indigenous communities under the Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. administration.

Media coverage is requested.
Photo opportunities and interviews will be available.
