“The reasons why I became an activist remain: the oppression and rights violation against the people, and plunder of our resources continue and getting worse,” Tauli, now 65, said in Ilocano when asked why he continues his activism.
He had to explain this after the OSG highlighted discrepancies between his judicial affidavit submitted to the court and the one attached to a writ of amparo he filed with the Court of Appeals. She was also asked about her claim of harassment by a certain “Major Melgar.” When asked if she had verified his identity, she admitted she had not but mentioned that the Commission on Human Rights confirmed it while investigating her complaint.
He described the terrorist designation as “the worst thing to happen in my life.” The CPA chair became emotional, saying the ATC’s label turned him into “an enemy of the state,” endangering not only him but also his family and colleagues because of their association with him.To support their argument, the OSG asked Bolinget about harassment incidents he mentioned in his supplemental affidavit.
