Banana workers and their families from the Philippines have posted very strong and worrying testimonies on our site about what have happened to them in Banana plantations in the Philippines. The workers with Philippine Pioneer Banana Workers Inc (PPBWI) filed law suits against the companies involved with DBCP production and distribution but they haven´t had any compensation or answers.
“My father have worked on banana plantation in Davao. Among the family we are claimants of the chemical victor that we awaited for several years. My father and my mother are sickly causing the effects of the chemical being applied in the plantation not only of them mostly our neighbors, my relatives and my classmates they are died due to different diseases”

“Five of us in our family have worked on banana plantation in davao. We are one of the claimants, we patiently waited that our claims will be granted this year. My brother died due to liver cancer, he supervises the harvesting crew at the field. Any updates?”

Right now it sounds like Drupal is the best blogging platform out there right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

Their back legs should come well underneath their body ready to propel them forward
on the flat. Lift one leg high, imitating the movements that you make when moving.
If leg strength were the only thing that would make you jump high all athletes would have the
legs of bodybuilders, but this is not the case and that’s why you see many great jumpers with pretty small legs.

I’ve been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough
for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as
you did, the web will be a lot more useful
than ever before.

Whenever I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine however when opening in IE, it’s got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Apart from that, fantastic website!

If you want to choose the right banana, or any food, drink, product, energyresources, bank, political party or any choice hou make: do choose those you know do good for our Planet and People.
EverY time you buy something, you vote for that product.
What helped me was to stop watching comercials, open my mind and think for myself! Free yourself form this sick wrong (economic) principles based over-consumption made lifestyle.
Get alive! One Planet, our world is our responsibility
Ignorance is bless – and bloody for our common future!
