“Hindi natin pwedeng kalimutan ang mga nangyari kasi kumbaga sa sugat may marka yan. Kahit gumaling yang sugat may marka pa rin yan. So wag’ nating kalimutan, alalahanin natin na pahahalagahan natin ang karapatan ng bawat isa,” said Pacquaio. “Nothing personal but ang karapatan ng tao ang pinaglalaban natin dito, karapatan ng bawat isa na malaya tayo na makapagcomment na maihayag natin yung saloobin natin,” said Pacquiao, stressing that it just happened that he was going to a grandmother who will be celebrating her 101st birthday in southern Cebu, which was why they passed by the commemorative marker and offered flowers.
He was joined by former Cebu Provincial Board member Ribomafil “Joey Boy” Holganza Jr., PDP-Laban Pimentel-wing Central Visayas chairman, and his group of supporters, the Manny Pacquiao for President Movement in his visit at the commemorative marker. Romano, who was believed to be a staunch critic of the Marcos regime and a human rights defender, particularly for the poor and oppressed, was never found after the incident.
