THE MAKABAYAN bloc led by ACT Teachers party-list Representative France Castro filed a resolution condemning the disappearance of a teacher coordinator and a development worker in Region 7.

The group filed House Resolution 695 urging the House of Representatives to condemn in the strongest terms the abduction of Alliance of Concerned Teachers Union Coordinator Dyan Gumanao and Alliance of Health Workers Cebu Coordinator Armand Dayoha.

The whereabouts of Gumanao and Dayoha have not been known since January 10.

Castro also called on the House leadership and the chairperson of the House Committee on Human Rights to conduct an inquiry on the said incident.

She said that she fears that the case might be whitewashed by those in power.

“Tumitindi na naman ang atake laban sa mga ordinaryong tao lalo na sa mga naglalantad sa kapalpakan, korupsiyon at pang-aabuso ng mga nasa kapangyarihan ngayon kaya marapat na mas maging mapagbantay tayo at isiwalat ang mga atakeng ito,” Castro stressed.
