ADVERTISEMENT“I strongly object to the Philippine government’s motion to delist cases of enforced disappearance, which include my daughter, Sherlyn,” 72-year-old Asher Cadapan told the Inquirer on Tuesday. [Up to] now justice hasn’t been served because we still can’t embrace our missing daughter,” Cadapan said. “Our family does not believe the sincerity of the present administration to give due justice to the victims of enforced disappearance. “The only reply of the government is that Luisa is a member of the (New People’s Army), as if such claim would justify any human rights violation that she may suffer,” she said. Cristina Guevarra, secretary general of Desaparecidos, a group of families of the disappeared, appealed to the UN agency to look further into the cases of enforced disappearances and their alleged cover-up under the Duterte administration.
