“official website of the Negros Nine Human Development Foundation, Inc.”

This website has been set up to continue the work of “total and integral human development” that began in the 1970s on the island of Negros in the Philippines during the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos. The story of the Negros Nine symbolises the struggle of the poor for a better life in a safe and sustainable environment i.e, “total and integral human development”.

Many who dedicated their lives to this cause did not survive. Thousands were imprisoned, tortured, murdered and others just disappeared never to be seen again. The Negros Nine did survive and lived to tell their story. However, as of now two of the priests and one layworker have died, another is disabled and two are no longer active.
