Datu Victor Danyan was the leader of the T’Boli-Manobo S’daf Claimants Organization (TAMASCO) and chief of the T’boli, Manobo, and Ubo (Lumads) indigenous peoples living in the village of Datal Bonlagon, Philippines. He was killed on 3 December 2017 by the Philippine armed forces, with seven members of his family and community, namely Artemio Danyan, Bobot Lagase, Mateng Bantel, Pato Celardo, Samuel Angkoy, To Diamante, and Victor Danyan Jr., in Barangay Ned, Lake Sebu, South Cotabato Province, the Philippines. The eight Lumad were killed after organising a peaceful protest against the expansion of a coffee plantation on their ancestral lands, that had been grabbed by DM Consunji Incorporated (DMCI)-owned Silvicultural Industries, Inc.’s (SII) Dawang Coffee Plantation, which supplies coffee to Nestle. The community had previously complained about harassment from soldiers and plantation guards. The community was also said to be pressured by another company, San Miguel Energy Corp, to stop opposing its coal mining application for Daguma Agro Minerals.
