  To those willing to help the farmers, here are their everyday needs:

  • Food namely breakfast (painit and pamahaw), am snack, pack lunch, pm snack, dinner;
  • Accommodation including place sleeping, CR, laundry, pillows and sleeping mats
  • 2 jeepneys for carrying the marchers' belongings and logistical materials
  • Water (since their body resistance is weak, they need mineral water and electrolyte sources like Gatorade and Extra Jos
  • Medicines particularly Biogesic, ascorbic acid, Betadine, Gauze, cotton, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and tissue
  • Raincoats (mahaba at makapal)
  • Bathing and washing soaps, shampoo
  • Slippers, hats, face towels
  • T-shirts are also welcome although they would rather wear similar shirts with printed campaign calls like "Walk for Sumilao Lands, Walk for Justice," "Restore the Dignity of Sumilao Farmers, Extend and Reform CARP," "Ibalik and 144 hectares of Sumilao Land."
  • Activities may be organized at each stop which could be a mass or a prayer or dialogue with farmers, etc…depending on the support groups that will welcome the Sumilao farmers at each stop.
