Roberto Sabanal is a farm worker on strike against the U.S.-based Dole Corporation on one of its banana plantations in Mindano. He shows the bullet wound he received when he was shot by armed guards hired by Dole, along with Philippine army units, when they expelled the workers from the Diamond Farms plantation.
