For Mercedita and Generoso, memories of Bazoo are inseparable from the wisdom he carried.
The court said that the state forces chose to interpret the narration of the key witness in a manner favorable to their position, calling it selective and self-serving.
Had it not been the court’s proactive questioning, the critical documents would not have been submitted as evidence at all.
The witness said that the passengers were taken at gunpoint by armed men, proving what the Court said was suspiciously concealed and misrepresented.
At the 41st People’s Cordillera Day, the call to surface Dexter and Bazoo resounded through poetry, song, and collective memory—a call carried by loved ones and communities determined to bring them home.
“The issuance of Writs of Habeas Data and Amparo from the Supreme Court is important in our ongoing legal battle to know the truth, achieve justice, and to surface Dexter [Capuyan] and Bazoo [De Jesus],” the parents said in Filipino.
Seven months after Dexter Capuyan and Gene Jamil “Bazoo” De Jesus disappeared, family, friends, and colleagues are still determined to find them as they renew their commitment and enjoin others in their search.
"It is frustrating that government agencies are violating RA 10353. We just want to know if our loved ones are in the custody of Nolcom or not," Eli Capuyan, Dexter's brother, said. "It's been 40 days since the two went missing."
