Statement of CHR Spokesperson, Atty Jacqueline Ann de Guia, on the killing of Army Corporal Frederick Villasis

The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) strongly condemns the alleged abduction and killing of Army Corporal Frederick Villasis perpetrated by the New People’s Army in Barangay Lahug, Tapaz, Capiz.

According to reports, Villasis was riding with a civilian on a motorcycle on their way to the town hall when around 40 armed men blocked their way. The civilian was left unharmed, but Villasis was reportedly taken, tortured, then shot from behind while his hands were tied. His motorcycle was also said to have been set on fire.

Such senseless violence is an affront to human rights, particularly to the sanctity of human life. We urge the government to apply the force of law in ensuring that the perpetrators are held accountable for these transgressions.

CHR shall also be conducting its own independent probe in aid of serving justice. CHR extends its condolences to the family and friends of Corporal Villasis. ###
