Vice President Leni Robredo has promised families of extrajudicial killings that she and her office will help them in every way they can as she attended the blessing and turnover of the cremated remains of some of the victims.
“Nandito lang po ako, nandito lang iyong aking opisina. Kapag may kailangan—kahit pa kailangan lang ng kakuwentuhan, bukas na bukas po iyong aming pinto sa inyong lahat ,” she said. The remains of the extrajudicial killings were buried in different public cemeteries in Metro Manila but were recently exhumed since the five-year lease on their graves lapsed. The Project Paghilom, however, facilitated the cremation of the said remains and purchased urns so their loved ones can take them home.Father Flavie Villanueva, the center’s founder and director and who made news when he washed the feet of the orphans of EJK victims in 2018, was in attendance.
