The human-rights group Karapatan details the abduction of Gilbert Rey Cardino, Bayan Muna’s coordinator in the SOCSKSARGEN area. “Ayon sa testigo na driver ng tricycle na sinasakyan ni Jing na si Phinney Tolentino, muntik na niyang mabundol ang L-300 van sa biglang pagharang nito sa daanan. Nagsibabaan ang limang lalaki na halos naka-barber’s cut ang gupit o mukhang mga military. Ang isa ay nakablack long sleeve shirt na may ‘police’ sa likod na nakasulat. Hinatak palabas ng tricycle si Jing ng apat na lalaki, dalawa sa magkabilang balikat at dalawa sa magkabilang paa.” |

Jing Cardino
Gilbert Rey “Jing” Cardino was abducted at around 11 a.m. today at Crossing, Barrio 2, Koronadal City. At 27, he is the youngest member of Bayan Muna’s national council. House Deputy Minority Leader and Bayan Muna Rep. Satur Ocampo quickly denounced the abduction and demanded that the military, whom he suspected of being behind the kidnapping, surface Cardino. Joel Virador, also a Bayan Muna congressman, urged Arroyo to order the military and the police to stop these enforced disappearances. “Without such an explicit, publicly stated order, more activists will either be killed or abducted,” Virador said.

According to Senator Joker Arroyo, the military has lobbied for the junking in the House of Representatives of a bill that seeks to compensate victims of human rights violations during the Marcos dictatorship. The military, Arroyo said, fears that the money would just go to insurgents and rebel groups.
In a privilege speech Monday, Arroyo said the military’s lobbying “demeans and mocks the legislative process” because it shows that the “military can throw a monkey wrench even at the tail-end of congressional work.”
