The labor group also refutes the report that labor leader Jude Thaddeus Fernandez allegedly fought back when authorities were serving a warrant on September 29
MANILA, Philippines – Labor group Kilusang Mayo is demanding justice for a slain labor leader whose body has yet to be turned over to his family.
However, Binangonan police authorities said there was no record of the death of Fernandez. Instead, the cops said, a different person was killed in a police operation in the Rizal province town that day. However, the KMU refuted this report and said Fernandez did not bear any firearm because he was a labor leader. Fernandez is the 72nd victim of labor-related killings since 2016, the KMU said.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Eduardo Balita, Binangonan police officer-in-charge, told Rappler that there was no Jude Thaddeus Fernandez in their records. Instead, it was a certain Oscar Dizon who was reportedly killed during the CIDG operation in the town. He added that the PNP CIDG carried out the operation.
