Dear Sir:

Kalinaw!

We, members of the CHURCH-NGO-ACADEME CONVERSATION strongly appeal for the immediate resolution of the murder of ROGELIO BACUS ESTUDILLO, SR., the Barangay Captain of Kinapat, Damulog, Bukidnon.

According to the sketchy information that we received, Mr. Estudillo was shot to death at his residence at about 7:30 PM on January 4, 2007.

The victim is a long-time friend and known supporter of one of our colleagues Mr. Romeo Tiongco of Muslim-Christian Agency for Advocacy Relief and Development (MuCAARD). Incidentally, Mr. Tiongco is challenging the incumbent mayor of Damulog in the May elections this year. The victim at the time he was killed was helping as political organizer for Mr. Tiongco.

Finally, we call for the prompt and speedy investigation into the tragic death of Brgy. Captain Rogelio Bacus Estudillo.

All in the name of genuine peace and justice in our country.
