Her mother, Evangeline Pitao, blamed the Armed Forces of the Philippines for the killing. “If they’re running after my husband, why do they have to take my daughter?” she asked, when she first learned about her daughter’s abduction. She turned hysterical after learning of her daughter’s death.

Rebelyn was abducted on her way home at around 6:30 pm Wednesday while boarding a tricycle in Talomo. She has been teaching at the St. Peter’s College. The village where her body was found was about 50 kilometers away from where she was abducted.

Raffy Agres, a farmer, saw her body near the NIA irrigation system in Purok 5 in San Isidro village of Davao del Norte’s Carmen town.Read on.
