“You have no mercy. All you do is kill, kill, kill.”

MANILA – “
Ganito ba ang batas? Patay muna bago aarestuhin? Ganito ba ang Anti-Terror Law?” (Is this the law? Kill first before the arrest? Is this the Anti-Terror Law?)
This is the lament of Santiago Bacasno, father of Mark Lee Bacasno who was among the nine people killed last March 7 in Rodriguez, Rizal.
In a virtual press conference on Friday, March 12, Bacasno said that there is no truth to the claim of the police that his son is a member of the New People’s Army or any armed group. He said that his son was hard working construction worker, who was trying to provide food for his family.
