Member-churches and staff of the National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP) participated in the Church-Peasant March for Land and Social Justice held March 28-29, 2011 at the Iglesia Filipina Independiente cathedral along Taft Avenue in Manila.  The participants showed their support for the aspirations of the farmers of Hacienda Luisita and urged the Supreme Court to act with justice on the case of the farmers.
