Small-scale miners found dead in shallow grave in Abra; farmer still missing in Isabela

Oplan Bayanihan intensifies crimes against the people

3 small-scale miners found dead in a shallow grave in Abra; farmer still missing in Isabela http://www.karapatan.org/3+small-scale+miners+found+dead+in+a+shallow+grave+in+Abra%3B+farmer+still+missing+in+Isabela

“With the rising trend of extrajudicial killings and other human rights violations, our bases to demand for Aquino to step down is getting stronger,” said Cristina Palabay, secretary general of Karapatan. In the first nine months of 2014, the group Karapatan already documented 10 victims of the extrajudicial killing, and a case of enforced disappearance.

The latest case was the massacre of the Ligiw family in Abra, Cordillera region; and enforced disappearance Romulo de la Cruz, a farmer in Isabela, Cagayan Valley region. De la Cruz’s disappearance is the 14th case documented under the Aquino regime.

“Kahayupan ang ginawang ito ng militar sa ilalim ng Oplan Bayanihan ni Aquino,” [These acts committed by the military under BS Aquino’s Oplan Bayanihan are  barbaric and inhumane], Palabay said as the rights group strongly condemned the series of killings.

“We hold the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Aquino government accountable, they have blood on their hands and they should be punished. The AFP even had the guts to spread misinformation that the NPA, the KASTAN (Kakailian Salakniban Tay Amin ti Nagtaudan) and CPA (Cordillera Peoples Alliance) were behind the abduction and brutal killing of the three,” said Palabay.

On February 19 at Lenneng, Domenglay, Baay-Licuan, Abra Province, elements of the 41st Infantry Battalion took Freddie “Fermin” Ligiw and forced him to serve as guide in the military operation against the New People’s Army who were said to be in the area.

On March 2, Fermin’s brother and father, Eddie and Licuben respectively, were last seen by their family members at their pacalso, a hut used as shelter of farmers and small-scale miners. On the same day, Fermin went home from the military operation. He ate with his family and told them he would see his father Licuben at their pacalso. Fermin, Edie and Licuben never got back home. For days, the family members assisted by the Abra Human Rights Alliance searched for the three.

On March 7, the search team, composed of 50 residents of Domenglay, Licuan-Baay, found a shallow grave near the victims’ pacalso. The team wanted to exhume the site but it had to wait for the police.  The exhumation was done the following day. The residents’ suspicion was confirmed: the remains of Eddie, Licuben and Fermin were piled up, all were in fetal position. They were bound and gagged.

The three were member of KASTAN, the provincial chapter of CPA in Abra; Fermin was a member of Anakbayan.

Enforced disappearance

On February 28 in Roxas City, Isabela, Romulo de la Cruz was abducted and remains missing as of this writing.
De la Cruz came from his son’s wedding and was on his way home when a gray van, without plate number blocked their path.

A man, whose face was covered by a handkerchief, alighted from the van and pulled the handlebar of De la Cruz’s motorcycle. Dela Cruz and his passenger fell to the ground. The man then grabbed Dela Cruz by the neck and pointed a small gun to his head. The assailant said he was a member of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).  The man pushed Dela Cruz inside the van where six other armed men were seated. The van quickly drove away with Dela Cruz.

De la Cruz was a member of Agbiag Matusalem Association-Roxas Isabela (AMA-RI), a member organization of Danggayan Dagiti Mannalon iti (Dagami).

HKCAHRPP seeks justice for Fermin Ligiw and family members, victims of extrajudicial killings in Abra, Philippines

The Hong Kong Campaign for the Advancement of Human Rights and Peace in the Philippines (HKCAHRPP) joins the international community in denouncing the rising spate of extrajudicial killings under the BS Aquino regime in the Philippines.

According to reports, members of the Phil. Army 41st Infantry Battalion doing counter insurgency operations Oplan Bayanihan committed the brutal massacre of Freddie ‘Fermin’ Ligiw, his father Licuben Ligiw and brother Edie Ligiw, members of the Binongan Tribe in Baay-Licuan, Abra on March 2, 2014. Their death brings to a total of 43 the number of extrajudicial killings of indigenous peoples under the current regime.

Members of the grassroots environmental organization KASTAN (Kakailian Salakniban Tay Amin ti Nagtaudan), the local chapter of the Cordillera Peoples Alliance, the Ligiws have been actively involved in anti-mining plunder and anti-militarization campaigns in the province, according to KAMP (Kalipunan ng mga Katutubong Mamamayan ng Pilipinas), an indigenous peoples organization.

KAMP stated that Fermin was due to file a human rights violation report to the Cordillera Human Rights Alliance (CHRA) on March 4, after he was used as a guide to aid the military in pursuing members of the New People’s Army.

Meanwhile, relatives of the victims who are working in Hong Kong expressed fear for their families back home. The military’s 41st Infantry Battalion had been conducting house-to-house investigation in their communities prior to the massacre, according to them. They expressed anger at the torture suffered by their relatives whose bodies bore signs of gagging and other forms of abuse, as their hands were tied-up when they were found buried in a shallow grave five days after they went missing.

While HKCAHRPP condemns the killings and demands justice for the victims, it assails the culture of impunity that was the trademark of Gloria Arroyo’s regime that persists under the administration of BS Aquino.

Once again, the HKCAHRPP stand in solidarity with the Filipino people in denouncing the spate of extrajudicial killings, abductions and the filing of trump-up charges against human rights defenders in the Philippines. These human rights abuses and violations must stop now.

URGENT ALERT: Peasant leader abducted, remains missing in Isabela province

By Karapatan (Alliance For The Advancement Of People’s Rights)

Case: Enforced disappearance
Victim: ROMULO DELA CRUZ, 42 years old

  • Farmer and resident of Barangay Matusalem, municipality of Roxas, Isabela
  • Member of Agbiag Matusalem Association-Roxas Isabela (AMA-RI), an association of residents of Matusalem village, Roxas town. AMA-RI is a member organization of Danggayan Dagiti Mannalon iti (Dagami), an alliance of peasant organizations in Cagayan Valley

Place of Incident: Nueva Era village, San Manuel municipality, Isabela province
Date of Incident: 28 February 2014

Alleged Perpetrators: Unidentified men who claimed to be agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)

Account of the Incident:

On 28 February 2014, Romulo Dela Cruz attended the wedding of his son, Romy, in a mass wedding ceremony in Roxas town. At around 11:30 am, Dela Cruz boarded his motorcycle and made his way back to his village in Barangay (village) Matusalem, Roxas, together with Julie Danga, one of the wedding sponsors. The newlyweds, aboard another motorcycle, were behind them.

When they reached Barangay Nueva Era in San Manuel town, a gray van without a plate number blocked their path. A man, whose face was covered with a handkerchief, alighted from the van and pulled the handlebar of Dela Cruz’s motorcycle sideways. Dela Cruz and his passenger fell to the ground. The man grabbed Dela Cruz by the neck and pointed a small gun to his head.

Danga asked the men what they wanted. The man told her he is a member of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Dela Cruz appealed not to hurt his companions, saying he will go with them voluntarily. Danga cried and shouted for help.

The man pushed Dela Cruz inside the van. Six other men, with long firearms, were inside the van. The van quickly drove towards the national highway.

Romy and his relatives, with the assistance of AMA-RI members, immediately reported the abduction of Romulo dela Cruz to the San Manuel police station. The police inspected the site of the incident and declared that the case is outside their jurisdiction.

The police also took the statements of Danga and Romy. During Romy’s interview, the police asked about his father’s work with Dagami. A police again told Romy the case is not within their jurisdiction simply because Dagami, allegedly, has “several rival organizations.”

Romulo Dela Cruz is an active member of peasant group Agbiag-Danggayan Dagiti Mannalon iti Isabela (Agbiag-Dagami). He is known to have opposed land grabbers in Roxas town.

As of writing, Romulo Dela Cruz’s whereabouts is still unknown.

UA Date: March 4, 2014

Recommended Action:

Send letters, emails or fax messages calling for:

  1. The immediate surfacing of farmer Romulo Dela Cruz and the immediate formation of an independent fact-finding and investigation team composed of representatives from human rights groups, the Church, local government, and the Commission on Human Rights that will look into his abduction and enforced disappearance.
  2. The end to the policy of labeling and targeting of human rights defenders as “members of front organizations of the communists” and “enemies of the state.”
  3. The withdrawal of Oplan Bayanihan, the Philippine government’s counterinsurgency program that victimizes innocent and unarmed civilians.
  4. The Philippine Government to observe the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and all the major Human Rights instruments that it is a party and signatory to.

Condemn massacre of Ligiw Family by the 41st Infantry Battalion!

Condemn massacre of Ligiw Family by the 41st Infantry Battalion!

The Cordillera Peoples Alliance (CPA) strongly denounces the massacre and brutal killing of Freddie “Fermin” Ligiw, Edie Ligiw, and their father Licuben Ligiw on 2 March 2014 in Sukaw, Domenglay, Baay-Licuan town, in Abra province by elements of the 41st Infantry Battalion (Philippine Army), which has a notorious track record of rights violations in Abra, such as indiscriminate firing, arrest and detention, harassment and intimidation of community members.

The victims’ bodies were recovered on 8 March by kakailian (town mates) in a shallow grave near the victims’ pacalso (temporary shelter for farmers and small-scale miners). Their hands were bound and their mouths were gagged. They were piled on top of each other. They were obviously buried, in the perpetrators’ hope that they won’t be found, that no one will know.

Fermin was a member of Sidakan-Anakbayan, and with his brother and father, members of the Lenneng-Killeng Tingguian Farmers Association (LEKITIFA). These organisations are members of KASTAN (Kakailian Salakniban tay amin a Nagtaudan), the CPA Abra Province chapter. The victims were active leaders of the people’s campaign against destructive mining in Baay-Licuan.

Data gathered by the Cordillera Human Rights Alliance (CHRA) shows that as early as 19 February, elements of the 41st Infantry Battalion conducted military operations in Lenneng, where Fermin was forcibly taken to serve as a guide in the military operations against suspected New People’s Army presence in the area. Family members last saw Fermin, Edie and Licuben on 2 March at their pacalso. The three were expected to be home in sitio (hamlet) Sukaw the same evening, but they never showed up. The family searched for them the following day.

Search teams were later organized to continue looking for the victims, until the grave was discovered on 7 March. Fermin was scheduled to meet with CHRA and the Abra Human Rights Alliance on 4 or 5 March to give his account of when he was coerced to be a military guide. He never made it to the meeting.

Not so long in late February, a fictitious organization “Ifugao People’s Council” circulated posters  in Banaue entitled “Rupa ken Nagan dagiti NPA nga Agsusweldo” (Names and Faces of Salaried NPAs) with malicious accusations against Jude Baggo, CHRA secretary general; Emerson Soriano, CPA Staff; Beverly Longid, KATRIBU President and former CPA chairperson, among other personalities, whose names and photos appeared in the posters, in still another desperate attempt to vilify defenders and advocates of indigenous peoples rights and human rights. In another northern Luzon province just recently as well, peasant leader Romulo dela Cruz was abducted on 1 March in Isabela. He has not been surfaced until now.

At least 43 indigenous peoples were killed in cold blood under this current Aquino regime, which has long-proven it is no different from the past Arroyo regime. It is the same fascist regime that instigates, plans and executes this national policy of terrorism across the country. Today it is called Oplan Bayanihan and is masked with deception and pronouncements of respect and recognition of human rights and international humanitarian law, but in reality, its concrete examples include the bombings in Malibcong and Sagada last year, and the rape of young women in the mining community of Mankayan in 2012.

As in Arroyo’s Oplan Bantay Laya I and II, Oplan Bayanihan is implemented by the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and is therefore accountable for countless rights violations, including Benigno Aquino III as commander in chief of the AFP.

We demanded from Aquino justice for all victims of human rights violations under the Arroyo regime, but all it did was add to the number of killings, harassment and enforced disappearance of human rights and development workers, activists and advocates.

What does government intend to do with the increasing number of victims, orphaned children, families and communities when it has the knack of allowing such injustice to prevail? Clearly, there is no room for human rights and justice under this regime, and we the people must rage against a State that breeds lawlessness and human rights violations.

Aquino must step down, lest he is ousted. If the State can go on with the killings and vilification only because of people’s political beliefs, then who will protect and defend the people? The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, of which the Philippine government is a signatory, states that “Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law…”

Therefore, let us not allow this culture of terrorism and impunity to continue. Let it be known that the people have a right to defend themselves, to mobilise for our human rights,  and to rise against fascism and extra judicial killing as what happened to the Ligiw family, and against a terrorist and fascist regime.

URGENT APPEAL: Call for justice for victims of killing and arbitrary arrest in the Bicol region, Philippines

Dear friends,

Please join us in our call for justice for the victims of killing and arbitrary arrest in the Bicol region.

Assassination of rights defender and his son in Albay province

At around 8:00 p.m. of 26 February 2014, Rosaldo Rayteran was driving home to Matara village after plying his jeepney route from Polangui town. With him was his 18-year-old son, Rasty.

When they reached Barangay (village) San Pascual, two masked men on board a motorcycle blocked their path and began shooting at them. Rosaldo and Rasty were immediately killed.

Prior to the incident, Rosaldo received threats on his life as coordinator of Albay People’s Organization, a human rights organization, on 10 December 2013, when he was a speaker at a program sponsored by Kadena Bicolandia in Matacon, Polangui to commemorate human rights day.

Coconut worker killed, another arrested and detained in Sorsogon City

On 30 January 2014, cousins Henry Orbina and Bryan Gallega were waiting for a jeepney in Barangay Cabid-an, Sorsogon City, when a police from a nearby outpost approached them and asked them where they work. The two replied that they were workers at a coconut factory. After a few minutes, eight men walked towards them. Gallega saw two of the men pulled out their guns. Fearing for their lives, Gallega and Orbina ran away.

Gallega went inside a house, which belonged to the owner of a nearby gas station, upon hearing gunshots. Gallega heard Orbina say he was hit, so he went outside the house to help Orbina. He flagged down a truck to take them to the hospital, but the truck driver did not stop. Gunshots were fired again. Gallega could not carry his cousin back to the house, so he was forced to leave Orbina behind.

When the firing stopped, a number of policemen entered the house where Gallega was. The police took the names of the people inside the house, including that of the owner, his wife and his employees. They arrested Gallega and took his bag.

According to witnesses, Gallega was brought to the Philippine National Police (PNP) precinct in Barangay Cabid-an, Sorsogon, while Orbina’s remains were brought to a funeral parlor.

On the evening of 31 January, Gallega was taken from his police detention cell, supposedly for a ballistic examination. Gallega heard one policeman say, “Patayin na iyan.” (That should be killed.) His head was covered with a black cloth bag. In panic, Gallega screamed for help and tried to run back inside the precinct. The police immediately removed the cloth bag from his head.

The police charged Gallega with illegal possesion of firearms and explosives.

On 17 February 2014, Sorsogon City Prosecutor Alma Zacarias dismissed the charges stipulating that the search conducted was unlawful, and that the alleged evidence used against Gallega was inadmissible. The Prosecutor added that Gallega’s “alleged admission that he had a handgun could not be taken against him because his right under custodial investigation, particularly the right to counsel, was violated.” The order for Gallega’s release was issued.

Unlawful arrest and arbitrary detention of Karapatan-Bikol spokesperson and Albay rights defenders

On 24 February 2014, almost 100 member-consumers of the Albay Electric Cooperative (Aleco) and their supporters held an assembly inside the Aleco compound. The Aleco consumers protested the impending take-over of the San Miguel Energy Corporation (SMEC), owned by the Cojuanco clan, on the consumers’ electric cooperative which they asserted will result to increased electricity rates.

At past 10:00 am, around 18 policemen, led by police chief Rommel dela Rama and Inspector Reynaldo Castuera, arrived and ordered the protesters to leave the premises. Some of the policemen were in civilian clothes.

Dela Rama threatened that the group will be dispersed if they refuse to leave. Paul Vincent Casilihan, Karapatan-Bikol spokesperson and Atty. Bartolome Rayco, chairperson of the Aleco Multi-Sectoral Stakeholders Organization (AMSSO) and of National Union of People’s Lawyer (NUPL)-Albay chapter asserted they were exercising their rights as member-consumers of Aleco.

At around noon, police chief Dela Rama said the protesters will be arrested if they do not leave. But Rayco and Casilihan insisted that there were no legal grounds for the police to arrest them.

Dela Rama then ordered his men to arrest Casilihan immediately. The police chief pointed to Casilihan and shouted, “Posasan na yan! Hulihin ito!” (Handcuff that now! Arrest this!)

Uniformed policemen gathered around Casilihan. Seeing this, Kilusang Mayo Uno member Hernan Certeza approached Casilihan’s, but he too, was arrested.

Police grabbed Certeza, pushed him to the ground and handcuffed him. Karl Anthony Canata, a 17-year-old artist of the Kaboronyogan Cultural Network was also handcuffed and pushed into a police car with Certeza and Casilihan.
Dela Rama likewise ordered the arrest of Atty. Rayco who was escorted by policemen inside the police vehicle. The police confiscated the protesters’ jeepney and other belongings.

Canata, Certeza and Casilihan suffered bruises while Canata’s elbows were wounded. Canata’s handcuffs were only removed upon insistence of the lawyer. He was transferred to the City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD) at around 2:00 pm.

The police charged Rayco, Casilihan and Certeza with grave coercion and malicious mischief. At 11:30 pm the City Prosecutor ordered their release since the warrantless arrest was not considered valid. The three were released at 1:00 am on 25 February 2014.

Canata, on the other hand, was forced to sign a certification at the CSWD without the presence of any of his parents and legal counsel. A member of the Karapatan quick response team Atty. Maddona Gay Escio, was barred from entering the CSWD to assist Canata and his mother.

Canata was only released at noon of 25 February, after her mother was forced to sign a document stating that she will not allow her child to go to the Karapatan office or be with Casilihan.

The police officers only released the passenger jeepney and other confiscated upon insistence of Casilihan.

UA Date: March 10, 2014

Recommended Action:

Send letters, emails or fax messages calling for:

  1. Justice for the killing of Henry Orbina, Rosaldo and Rasty Rayteran, the arbitrary arrest and detention Bryan Gallega, Paul Vince Casilihan, Atty. Bartolome Rayco, Hernan Certeza and Karl Anthony Canata.
  2. The immediate formation of an independent fact-finding and investigation team composed of representatives from human rights groups, the Church, local government, and the Commission on Human Rights that will look into these incidents of human rights violations, and to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators.
  3. The withdrawal of Oplan Bayanihan, the Philippine government’s counterinsurgency program that victimizes innocent and unarmed civilians.
  4. The Philippine Government to observe the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and all the major Human Rights instruments that it is a party and signatory to.
