A broad anti-tyranny alliance of groups and individuals called for an independent investigation of the massacre of a peasant family in Negros Occidental province.
It said in a statement that similarities in the cases of Rolly Fausto and Tingal—both peasant leaders tagged as supporters of the New People’s Army and later killed—were “not a mere coincidence.”
On Friday, the National Solidarity Mission , which included two opposition members of the House of Representatives and a Philippine Independent Church bishop, disputed the military and police reports and instead pointed to Army soldiers as those responsible for the massacre. The 94th Infantry Battalion, an Army unit engaged in counterinsurgency operations in the province, confirmed that Fausto had been their “intelligence asset” since March last year.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines on Saturday dismissed the findings of the NSM, saying it was not a legitimate entity to conduct an investigation. In one of the incidents, eight men wearing military uniforms entered their house while the family members were working in the field.The CHR, Parra said, would interview the Faustos’ relatives in Barangay Carol-an, Kabankalan City, to find out whether the couple had been Red-tagged.
