'We could not easily wrap our heads around the fact that state agents would cross this line and dare to kill teachers.' JusticeForChadBooc JusticeForTeacherJurain JusticeForNewBataan5 Opinion piece by Tony La Viña and Jayvy Gamboa:
, which included volunteer Lumad teachers Chad and Jurain, last February 24 is one of the worst heartbreaks for those who are aware of the Lumad youth’s struggle to an accessible, safe, and quality education.
In this aspect, we welcome the expertise of Dr. Raquel Fortun, the foremost forensic pathologist in the country and a professor in the UP College of Medicine. Days before Chad was buried, Dr. Fortun had the opportunity to conduct a forensic autopsy on his body to hopefully determine the degree of injuries inflicted upon him.
As one would expect from a forensic pathologist who have seen cases upon cases of violent killings and looming impunity such as this, Dr. Fortun calls for institutionalizing reforms in the standard procedure in violent killings involving state agents such as the police and the military to prevent impunity. For the meantime, the CHR is called upon to conduct a comprehensive investigation.
Of highest priority is to hold government officials accountable for red-tagging teachers as well as environmental and human rights defenders. One of us himself has become a target of this evil tactic that smears people without basis.
