Peasants led by the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP, Peasant Movement of the Philippines) commemorated the anniversary of PD 27, the bogus land reform program of the Marcos dictatorship, on October 21, by a week-long series of protests and a relief mission to Central Luzon.

KMP said that the October peasant campaign would deal mainly on the call for Genuine Land Reform and the immediate need of peasants distraught by typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng for relief and rehabilitation. They have also called for justice for the victims of human rights abuses under the Macapagal-Arroyo regime.
