Carmen, near Davao City, Mindanao
Felix Bacalso is a striker at Diamond Farms. He has ten children, some of whom now live with other families since he can no longer provide for them. He said that if the price paid by Dole Corporation for the farms' bananas didn't increase, he would be forced to send his children into the fields to work.
