San Carlos Bishop Gerardo Alminaza said he mourns the “horrifying” deaths of the Fausto family who were killed on Wednesday, June 14, in Himamaylan, Negros Occidental by allegedly by members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
In a petition released last Sunday, the prelate in neighboring Negros Oriental said he implores local and national government institutions to ensure justice for the victims and hold accountable those responsible for the massacre.
Brutally killed in their hut were Roly Fausto, 55, his wife Emelda, 50 and their children Ben and Ravin ages 15 and 12 respectively. The couple had been repeatedly red-tagged by the military weeks before their deaths.
