The Armed Forces of the Philippines said that it has “intensified” its search for missing labor activists Alipio Juat and Elizabeth Magbanua after the Court of Appeals apparently held the military liable for their disappearance.In a statement Saturday, Nov. 19, Col. Jorry Baclor, chief of AFP public affairs office, said the AFP has complied with the writ of amparo granted for Juat, an activist and survivor of the Marcos martial law, and Magbanua, an activist for women and workers’ rights.
Baclor further stated that Dupiag also conducted a dialogue with detainees at the Quezon City Police District who, according to Baclor, attested that they “did not see the missing persons.” Their families accused the military of being responsible for the activists’ disappearance as they filed for a writ of amparo before the Supreme Court last Aug. 10. Juat’s last known communication to his daughter, Maureen, was him reportedly saying he was being held inside the AFP General Headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City. Meanwhile, Magbanua’s relatives claimed they have not seen her since the May 3 meeting with Juat in Valenzuela City.
