Thank you Carlo, this info will greatly help the victims and their families. This administration has abused its power to suppress, repress and oppress the Filipino. Some had gone to the extreme of eternally silencing the voices of dissent. As undeclared martial rule dawns on us, we lament that our very own Human Rights Comission only has recommendatory powers. They cannot prosecute any abusive state agency/agent which indulges in these acts against humanity. I implore the international community to condemn such acts being utilized by the current dispensation to perpetuate its hold to power. Only when then will GMA and her assassins be finally exposed. Her scorched-earth policy to rid the nation of its insurgents had gone beyond the realms of war. It has crossed the line of human decency and has disregarded rights constitutionally accorded to every man. Unless the international community pressures this administration, they will do such acts with impunity. GMA and Palparan must be held responsible for this inhumane acts against the people of the Philippines.
