MACO, COMPOSTELA VALLEY — Marjorie Reynoso, 18, a Sangguniang Kabataang (SK or youth council) chairperson in Anislagan, a village in this town, wanted to be a health worker for her community.
Karapatan Southern Mindanao secretary-general Ariel Casilao said the Maco massacre showed the administration’s “desperate move to crack down on progressive and militant groups.” He said 432 incidents of human rights violations involving 16,034 individuals were reported to have occurred so far this year in Southern Mindanao alone.
The councilor, a human-rights lawyer and former youth activist herself, also criticized the reported surveillance and harassment of the members from militant youth organizations who claimed they were stalked by the same vehicle that was used in the abduction of the four victims.
