RGADC was invited, the last conversation that we attended was yung
Philippine Ecumenical Peace Platform (PEPP) for Northeastern Mindanao
ii.
Meron na pala silang kaso, nag-attend sila ng CBD. Nagsabi sila na meron
nang kinasuhan pero wala pang warrant of arrest. Talagang naano na kami
na 2 months, after lumabas ang warrant. We assisted them. Yung dating
lawyer namin na ngayong councilor of Butuan city assisted them. So
nadismiss ang kaso.
Atty. Rubin: ang security ng participants ang concern dito. We don’t intend to put
communities at risk, pero although hindi rin natin alam na yun ang objective sa kanilang
gagawin, but from your story they were tracked na pala, those that were invited sa CBD
were arrested after.
Atty. Abrina: Different po is composition ng attendees. With CBD, regionalized version ng
CBD projects. Nakaupo po yung security sector. Ang CSOs, meron ding alternative law
group, yung ibang groups like Gabriela, ISI, Rural...they wouldn’t want to sit in CBD sessions
with the security sector so we have provided a different venue with them - NEDA, DILG
minus the security sector para makaprovide din sila nung context ng conflict.
