Warm greetings from my family and Desaparecidos! It has been more than four years since my son Jonas has been missing. While the Supreme Court resolved that the military produce my one based on the investigation of the Commission on Human Rights which identified one of the abductors, until now we have no clue of his whereabouts or his condition along with the other victims of enforced

After almost four years of waiting we see a glimmer of hope. The report of the Commission of Human Rights is now in the hands of the Supreme Court. Our theory has been right all along. The evidence gathered by the CHR confirms our family’s theory that the Philippine Army is involved in the abduction of my son and elements of the police and military are covering up to hide the identity of the

This is an atrocity against our family and against our people’s right to seek swift justice.After three years of my son’s disappearance, and after a previous Supreme Court decision on July 16, 2007 granting our petition for habeas corpus, the same Supreme Court, in classic Pontius Pilate style, has now passed the case back on to the Commission on Human Rights for a “more meaningful investigation.

JONAS TURNS 38( A celebration of thanksgiving and love) Yesterday marked the 11th month since Jonas was forcibly abducted. Today, Jonas turns 38. With family and friends, we celebrate this gift of life in spite of the fact that Jonas remains to be missing because Jonas continues to be a gift especially to the disappeared and their families. We believe that by his being disappeared, Jonas is

Dear Mr. Lozada:Greetings from the mother of a desaparecido!Allow me to call you Jun. I am Edith Burgos, the mother of Jonas, a desaparecido.

Joe always remembered to thank The Lord for the gift of life. (His daily ordinary 'living' was itself an expression of this gratitude.) His way would be to gather family and friends around him and share whatever
