Why do we need to #JunkTerrorBillNow? The lockdown alone has seen a surge of murdered human rights activists, peasant organizers and advocates, as well as farmers. All of them were harassed by the military, red-tagged and vilified as terrorists before they were brutally killed.

Last March 17, 25-year-old cultural worker Marlon Maldos was abducted and killed in Bohol by suspected elements of the Philippine Army's 47th Infantry Battalion mere weeks after they murdered his father Marcelo, whom they red-tagged and branded as a terrorist. #JunkTerrorBillNow

66-year-old peasant leader Nora Apique was shot dead in Surigao del Sur last March 31 by riding-in-tandem gunmen. She has also been subjected to various threats, harassment, and red-tagging from the military. #JunkTerrorBillNow

John Farochilin, another peasant leader, was shot dead in Iloilo by the Philippine Army's 61st Infantry Battalion last April 18, who falsely and maliciously claimed that he was a New People's Army combatant killed in an armed encounter. #JunkTerrorBillNow

Martial law veteran and longtime activist Jory Porquia was vilified and harassed by Molo Police Station officials and personnel while they were conducting relief operations in urban poor communities before he was gunned down on April 30. #JunkTerrorBillNow

Last May 8, elements of the Philippine Army's 31st Infantry Battalion and the Philippine National Police's Special Action Battalion and the 1st and 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company brutally massacred five farmers in Sorsogon. #JunkTerrorBillNow

Urban poor leader Carlito Badion was found dead in Leyte last May 28. His corpse was already bloated, when it was recovered with a wound on his neck seemingly caused by a shot from a makeshift firearm. He was last seen May 26, when he received death threats. #JunkTerrorBillNow
