Participants walked from Philcoa heading to the Department of Agriculture (DA), FPA and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The group asked Government Agencies to immediately take action to stop aerial spraying of pesticides at banana plantations in Mindanao.

The Departmnet of Health has already decided to stop the aerial spraying to protect the health of the people. So, the concerned agencies must now take action.
