The Lumad people are discouraged from going to Davao City to celebrate Christmas this year as the threat of pandemic could endanger their safety, an official of the City Social Welfare and Development Office said on Tuesday.
Dayaday added that before the pandemic, the local government prepared programs for the Lumad people for 12 days in their respective clusters in the city but these activities were stopped since the pandemic started in 2020. Dayaday also encouraged the local government units to initiate a similar program of distributing food packs to the Lumad communities during Christmas so that the indigenous people will no longer have to visit the cities, which could only expose them to danger.
