Around 200 farmers belonging to the group Buffalo-Tamaraw-Limus (BTL) were fired at using shotguns and M-16 rifles by almost 30 CMU security guards last June 22. That day, the farmers decided to till their rice fields after three months of being prevented by the CMU administration from doing so because of the expiration of a 5-year lease agreement between the university and BTL. When farmers refused to stop working and give up farming implements that the security guards wanted to confiscate, they were showered with bullets .
