The mother of a Cordillera activist, who was branded a terrorist along with three other members of the Baguio-based Cordillera Peoples Alliance, urged President Marcos to spare them through a handwritten letter she read at a pre-Sona rally on Monday.
“Owing to her great desire to help her parents, she opened a small business and gave support to our farm work, which alleviated my meager salary as a teacher, and supported and maintained the [college tuition] of her brothers and sisters, who are now government employees,” Awingan said.
Setting a more combative tone at the rally, the children of Steve Tauli expressed their outrage at how the government has mistreated their father. Tauli’s older sibling, Anne, was linked to communist rebels by the military but was flown to Baguio City from Mountain Province in 2020 by her former schoolmate, then-National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon, at the height of the pandemic lockdown “to clear her name.”The ATC resolution, which became public on July 10, enabled the Anti-Money Laundering Council to direct banks to freeze the accounts of CPA.
