| Malayao was killed with two gunshots |
Police reports say Malayao, 49, was shot while fast asleep aboard
an Isabela-bound Victory Liner bus.
The gunman reportedly boarded the bus when it stopped in
Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya, at past 2am and fired two successive shots at the
victim, killing him instantly.
The police said the suspect immediately got off the bus then
boarded a getaway vehicle described as a black Yamaha Mio sedan driven by
another person.
The murder of the NDF officer was vehemently condemned by
the Hong Kong Campaign for the Advancement of Human Rights and Peace in
the Philippines
“HKCAHRPP holds the Duterte regime responsible for Malayao’s
death. The cancellation of peace talks, the continuation of the all-out war,
and targeting of activists, lead the violent march of his salaried goons,” the
rights advocate said in a press release.
“The cold-blooded killing of Malayao is the latest in a slew
of attacks on peace-loving advocates,” HKCAHRPP said. “This brazen killing, on
top of the attacks on other NDF consultants with trumped up charges, does not
bode well for the future of peace talks.”
Malayao, a holder of an NDFP-GRP Joint Agreement on Safety
and Immunity Guarantees identification card, should have been protected from
such an attack and arrests, the group said.
Malayao was abducted and jailed in 2008, during Gloria
Macapagal Arroyo’s term. He was heavily tortured before being released in 2012.
While in jail, he conducted literacy programs for the inmates, HKCAHRPP said.
He graduated from University of the Philippines Visayas in Iloilo Philippines
