Nuseir Yassin had accused Cacao Project of exploiting farmers, that it released a “fake story,” and that there were “no 200 farmers” on the farm.

This was Nas Daily’s response to Louise Mabulo’s earlier statements that Yassin mocked the farmers when he visited CamSur for the Cacao Project farm.

“I watched him imitate and mock the local accent and language, vocalizing Tagalog-sounding syllabic phrases saying it sounded stupid. He repeatedly said that the people of my hometown [are] ‘poor,’ ‘farmers are so poor!’ and “why are Filipinos so poor?’” He said no one wants to hear about farmers or farms, it’s not clickable viewable content. He didn’t care about making change or shedding light on real issues – he only wanted content, a good, easy story to tell that would get him more Filipino views,” Mabulo said in her August 5 post.
