Statement of CHR spokesperson, Atty. Jacqueline Ann de Guia, on the abduction of civilians and CAFGU in Mindoro

Our Constitution, alongside other laws, guarantee our right to liberty and security of persons. The Commission on Human Rights then condemns any act that transgresses on these fundamental human rights, such as in the case of the abduction allegedly perpetrated by the New People’s Army, which targeted a barangay chairman, two (2) civilians, and a member of Civilian Active Auxiliary (CAA) in Barangay Malo, Bansud, Oriental Mindoro.

While the three victims were already reportedly released, a CAFGU member remains to be under their custody. We stress that any form of arbitrary, unlawful taking and confinement is punishable by law, much more so if eventually treated inhumanely and with cruelty.

These acts must be pursued to the fullest extent of our laws and ensure that perpetrators be punished in the name of serving justice to all aggrieved. ###
