Bakwit

The unending experiences of armed hostilities in Mindanao have resulted to scenarios of displacement of thousands of people over and over again. Often, the people who are forced into migrating to their own territories are looked upon as helpless and incapacitated to provide for their basic needs. Thus, by design, aid agencies and other humanitarian organizations make their presence felt in areas where the internally displaced persons (IDPs) are to provide for what they perceive as the things these IDPs need. But are the IDPs really helpless?
