MANILA, Philippines — The Court of Appeals has ordered the military to investigate the case and locate two labor organizers, who have gone missing and are allegedly being kept inside their camp, as it issued a protective writ for the two.

 

The CA issued the privilege of the Writ of Amparo in favor of Elizabeth Magbanua and Alipio Juat, who went missing early in May. It also issued a Permanent Protection Order for the petitioners and their immediate family.

 

The writ of amparo is a protection extended to petitioners when threats to their life, liberty and security emanate from the military, police and other state security forces. It covers extralegal killings and enforced disappearances or threats thereof.
