the island of Basilan, off the coast of Mindanao
Workers hose down the floor of the Sime-Darby factory where latex is being processed into raw rubber. Sime-Darby has agreed to sell the factory and plantation to the workers under the Philippines' Agrarian Reform Law, who will then set up a cooperative to run it.
