Filipino farmers solicit Angelina Jolie’s help

It looks like the fame of actress and UN goodwill ambassador Angelina Jolie has reached the far side of the Philippines!

Left-wing Filipino farmers are calling for Jolie, a U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees ambassador, to help the thousands of rural people displaced by increased military operations.

The Farmers’ Movement of the Philippines, or KMP, wants the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to send the actress — a UNHRC goodwill ambassador since early 2001 — to look into the rising number of internal refugees in the country.

The KMP wants Jolie, 32, to witness “the real situation of internally displaced people in the country,” KMP officer Willy Marbella said in a statement.

The military blames insurgents for the problem. It is battling communist rebels, who have been fighting for a Maoist-led state for 39 years, and the 11,000-strong Moro Islamic Liberation Front that has been struggling for two decades for self-rule in the southern Philippines.

Lt. Col. Bartolome Bacarro, the armed forces spokesman, said he couldn’t confirm nor contradict the figures cited but stressed that the military operations aim to run after rebels, not displace civilians. Soldiers are told to avoid engaging guerrillas in populated areas, he said.

WHAT’S YOUR COMMENT? Do you really think Angelina Jolie will get involved in this?
