Jonas, son of the late freedom fighter Jose Burgos, was allegedly abducted by government security forces on April 28, 2017 while having lunch at a restaurant in Quezon City.
In a statement Wednesday, April 28, Edita Burgos, mother of Jonas, said the community pantry initiative has brought back the memories of Jonas.
Edita recalled how Jonas shared his harvest with his fellow students in the Benguet State University and with the poor families living near the university campus.
When a powerful earthquake struck on July 16, 1990, Edita recounted how Jonas and his fellow students put up a community kitchen for those trapped in the university who ran out of food.
