For her, there is no other word for it, no matter how the thought percolated. On that fateful night on December 6 when Emmanuel's life was inconsolably snatched away, Carmela hurled curses at the Duterte Administration's crass, inept campaign against illegal drugs and every moony policeman for the unfathomable fate that befell her nephew. She couldn't quite take it in – how her Eman, an academic scholar placed at the top section of his class, had become yet another victim of mistaken identity, collateral damage, in the much maligned war on drugs. Scene of the crime. On December 6, 2. Carmela received a call from Katrina Cardenio, Eman's girlfriend and classmate in Section Newton at the Eusebio High School in Pasig City – using Eman's mobile phone. She knew right away that it had to be ominous. May tama siya; naliligo siya sa dugo (I don't know how I reached the basketball court, at Barangay Putol. I saw him there, in a pool of his own blood). It's been 40 days since Eman's life was inconsolably snatched, an apparent mistaken identity in the name of the Duterte Administration's war on drugs, but the. Isinunod ang pangalan ng Mindanao sa mga Maguindanaon na bumubuo sa pinakamalaking Kasultanan ayon sa kasaysayan, at makikita sa mga mapa na ginawa noong ika-17 at. Tungkol ito sa isang yunit ng pamayanan sa Pilipinas, para sa elementong kimikal, pumunta sa Baryum. Ang barangay o baranggay, na kilala din sa dating pangalan nito. Lol Kamuka ng Modyul ko pang Grade 7 xD. Thank po talaga kasi nakalimutan ko po yung libro ko and may assignment kami. To her, indications were that her nephew was shot at point blank range while sleeping. At the scene, she saw officers from BSEU, or Batas Syudad Enforcement Unit, of Pasig City. The questions swirled and churned. Tinanong ko sa mga pulis, ano ginawa niyo? Bakit nakapasok (How did the persons armed with guns enter? I asked the police, what did you do? Pero kapag iba ang nabaril na certified pusher/user inaabot ng oras, dadating ang news crew (but when it's a certified drug pusher or user, no matter how long it took, the news crews would appear). I don't know if any slug was recovered. The first person I called was my friends in Couples For Christ. They were the first to come and console me). How do we identify the perpetrators? The vigilantes in black? At this point in the term of President Duterte. We are the victims of the propaganda. This shows that there is something terribly wrong with the war on drugs. Thank God it wasn't a mild stroke, according to Carmela, the daughter. Eman then went to help his girlfriend Katrina and the Cardenio family at the evacuation site for victims of a fire at Brgy. Putol, in Rosario, Pasig. Eman was a dutiful son to his mother, Socorro, who was working in Bahrain. Putol basketball court among 1. The girlfriend's account. Katrina, the girlfriend, narrated to Inter. Aksyon that, on that day, December 6, because he had run so many errands, Eman was exhausted, rested and fell sleep. She shared what witnesses said they saw: that they observed armed persons approaching, and one of them seemed to act as lookout entering one of the evacuation tents of the fire victims, the one that Eman and Katrina were occupying. This person was wearing a black mask and garbed in black shorts and jacket. He was cursing and conducted himself in a threatening demeanor. Only his eyes could be seen through the face mask. They numbered eight and were armed, hooded and all wearing black jackets. They had apparently come looking for a drug suspect presumably staying at another tent. But it so happened that the tent they entered was where Eman and Katrina were resting. They were both already asleep by that time. Nakita ko si Eman may butas na dito sa leeg tapos dito sa kaliwa. Hindi ko po alam, kasi po noong nakita ko umalis agad ako, nag iiyak na ako, hindi ko na namalayan ang oras mag 1. Yung mga tao, tulala, nakatingin na lang sa nangyari. What I saw was Eman's entrance wound on his neck and on the left side too. I remember only that I rushed out, not knowing what to do. I don't know why they had to shoot him at such close range. The other people could only watch in disbelief.)There were barangay officials and peace and order watchmen, and policemen. It turned out that the apparent person of interest, identified as a certain Niko, was in the vicinity and even partook of the meal served that evening for the fire victim evacuees by the social development office. He was last seen at the evacuation center eating with some relatives and wearing the same jersey, almost the same color of shorts, a cap, and so was in attire similar to that of Eman. Ferdie Santos, executive officer of Barangay Rosario, acknowledged that they received a spot report regarding the shooting incident. Santos pointed out that the victim, Emmanuel Lorica, was not in the barangay drug watch list: . Sa aming watch list e wala siya, kasi may mga pangyayaring may pinapadala (watch list) sa PNP, sila ang nag va- validate, minsan me nasa watch list dito, hindi namin alam na na 'yun pala, dahil palayaw lang, minsan pag nagpadala kami ng 1. In fairness to the kid, he is reportedly a scholar, but we're not sure if there is any involvement in other matters. He's not in our watch list, but there have been other cases where the Philippine National Police (PNP) does the validating of supposed names. In some cases, it has been a matter only of nicknames. Sometimes, out of a hundred names, only 2. In this case, there's no one who could positively ID the trigger man. The CCTV was down after a storm just passed. Doon si Eman nakikitulog minsan kasi broken family siya (The house of the girlfriend that burned down, it was one of the houses in the area raided by the police. Eman frequently slept there because he was from a broken family). Elmedio Cardenio told Inter. Aksyon that the subject of the killing had physical features that were distinct from those of Eman. The subject was fair- skinned, unlike Eman. In a text message to Inter. Aksyon, he said: . The Barangay Captain could have approached us for clarification. Where is the evidence? I was shown a picture of the suspect, and he sure looked very different from my nephew. As a lector and commentator in the parish and leader of the council of parents, she wanted to make sure that the war on drugs will respect human rights and the due process. If not for the acts of ill- willed or misguided persons, and a government that could have done the right thing, my nephew Eman would still be alive.)Carmela tries to hold back tears as she thought about how Eman would probably be practicing for the high school graduation ceremony. He would probably go on to take the college test. He would probably be playing basketball, which he enjoyed very much. Jenifer Mangali, Eman's Science teacher and adviser, said: ? We have now tightened up the rules for the pupils to go home by 5 p. But, sometimes, those in Section 1 have plenty of additional work and requirements to meet. In the case of Eman, he just wants to have a good future, to support his family. He plays the guitar in church. He recruits for the Youth For Christ. He is easy to get along with. Very accommodating and friendly. Very pleasant person. Rosanna de Guzman, Assistant to the Principal of the junior high school department, recalled that Eman was a polite boy: . Nagluluksa ang buong eskwela sa pagkawala ni Eman. All the teachers here say only one thing of him, that Emmanuel is courteous and helpful. The school is grieving over the loss of Eman.)His peers, his girlfriend, and schoolmates were eager to share anecdotes.
