Dominga Gaspar: Among the women fists on air in the defense of ancestral domain
By: Alma B. Sinumlag
“Saan a lapped ti pagkababaem a mangitakder iti kailiam” (Being a woman is not a hindrance in defending your people). Dominga Gaspar, 54 years old recalled that these were the words told to her by one of their elders that had given her inspiration to fight and continue fighting along with her people against the mining company intruding their land. She added that these words summoned all her strength amidst the challenges in building unity among her folks, in the massive information education campaign, in lobbying to the duty bearers, in marching the streets and in setting up a barricade to register resistance in the corporate funded mineral exploration project that threatens their land, life resources. These are words of trust that she has hold on to in what she said as the unending struggle against corporate plunder.
