MISSING Polytechnic University of the Philippines Professor Charlie del Rosario, deemed to be the first person to go missing during the Marcos regime, was well remembered on the anniversary of Martial Law yesterday, September 21, 2020.

Blogger Digital Jero, in a Facebook post, said that PUP will never forget del Rosario who remains an inspiration to students.

“PUP will never forget dahil sa loob ng pamantasan ay may gusaling ipinangalan sa kauna-unahang biktima ng diktaduryang Marcos. Si Professor Charlie del Rosario ang kauna-unahang desaparacido sa ilalim ng Martial Law,” he said.

“Nawawala pa rin si Charlie pero nananatili siyang paalala sa mga estudyante ng Sintang Paaralan na minsa’y may isang mahusay na propesor na piniling maglingkod sa mga iskolar ng bayan,” he added.

Del Rosario was last seen on the night of March 19, 1971 during a student protest. He was putting up posters for the Movement for a Democratic Philippines national congress inside the PCC campus in Lepanto, Manila.
