The military asserts that the deaths resulted from an encounter in Sitio Lubi, Barangay Tabugon, Kabankalan
NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, Philippines – San Carlos City Bishop Gerardo Alminaza called on the Commission on Human Rights and other independent bodies to investigate the killing of five alleged noncombatant rebels, along with a tricycle driver in Kabankalan City on Thursday, September 21.“Violence cannot be resolved through further violence,” said Alminaza who has been red-tagged.
“These persons are not allowed to be attacked or harmed because they pose no threat,” Bishop Alminaza said. Alminaza, who has been involved in various human rights advocacies, said he was convinced that peace can only be achieved by addressing injustices. Alminaza cited the case of two environmental activists, Jolina Castro and Jhed Tamano, who claimed to have been abducted and coerced by the military to sign affidavits inside a military camp as rebel returnees.
