In a post on Facebook on Tuesday, 26 July 2022, Eric HJ Mallonga claimed: “Bato’s Alsa Masa cannibalized Fr. Tullio Favali’s brain. Now he wants ROTC in SHS for military discipline. Discipline pala yon?” The claim is false.
Mallonga was apparently alluding to Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa’s support to the proposal to revive ROTC. The lawmaker has identified it as one of his priority bills.Favali, an Italian missionary, was shot to death on 11 April 1985 in Tulunan, North Cotabato by members of the vigilante group Ilaga led by brothers Norberto, Edilberto and Elpidio. Witnesses said the killers ate parts of his brain.
Ilaga, whose members believed their amulets made them invincible, operated as a paramilitary group used in the fight against Moro and communist rebels during the Marcos regime. Fellow Italian missionary Fr. Peter Geremia, not Favali, was the real target of Manero’s group. The former was suspected of having links with the underground movement.
Ilaga was formed by Feliciano Luces a.k.a. Commander Toothpick at the height of the Philippine government’s campaign against the Moro National Liberation Front, which waged a war for an independent Moro homeland.
