NATIONAL Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-Elcac) Undersecretary Lorraine Marie Badoy said the “Bakwit School 7,” whose criminal charges were dismissed, must not “celebrate” yet.
Badoy said in a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, May 18, 2021, that they will assist the Lumad parents, whose children were reportedly kidnapped and brought to the retreat house of the Societas Verbi Divini Philippines Southern Province, University of San Carlos-Talamban campus in Cebu City, to file a motion for reconsideration.
The NTF-Elcac official said the dismissal of the case is only a “first round,” and they will exhaust all legal actions against the respondents.
