Published January 2, 2021 5:02pm Detained Senator Leila de Lima on Saturday called for an immediate investigation on the killing of nine members of an indigenous group (IP) in Tapaz, Capiz; and the arrest of 17 others in Calinog, Iloilo by police units. “If the reports I received were accurate, the killings were done tokhang style, with State forces barging into their homes at dawn, under the pretext of serving warrants, and eventually killing them because they allegedly resisted arrest,” De Lima said in a statement. However, the group Pamanggas on Thursday said the nine were Tumandok IPs who were unarmed and non-combatants.
