Paghidaet Sa Kauswagan Development Group (PDG) is a civil society organisation assisting farmers in the province of Negros on the island of Mindanao in the south of the country. On 24 November 2018, Mr. Felipe Levy Gelle Jr. and Ms. Enrita Caniendo, both members of PDG in Kabankalan, found two notes with their pictures in a coffin, with an inscription in local language saying “one by one you will be eliminated, you are the next one”. The notes had been thrown inside the compound of a leader of the Association of Farmers and Farmworkers of Lupni, who handed them to Ms. Caniendo. They reported the case to the local police. PDG has been involved in the anti-mining campaign to prevent Colet Mines from operating and causing destruction to the hinterland forests of Sipalay in Negros Occidental and their founder human rights lawyer Benjamin Ramos was killed in November 2018.
