By JOEL C. Fisherfolk yesterday appealed to Sen. Noli de Castro to intervene and investigate the brutal murder of his provincemate, Naujan (Oriental Mindoro) Vice Mayor Juy Magsino and his companion, on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, in Naujan.
Hicap said De Castro’s deafening silence on spate of killings in Mindoro Oriental involving political activists exposing the military’s abuses and terror crimes in the province was tantamount to express approval at the behest of and in the interest of the Arroyo administration and the armed forces.
They are not expecting the Arroyo administration to render justice to Magsino and Fortun who were ambushed by alleged military elements belonging to 204th Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army based in Mindoro Oriental.
