CHR probes death threat against martial law survivor, playwright Bonifacio Ilagan

On January 2, Ilagan received a phone call from a man who told him to stop what he was doing, without further elaboration. The unidentified caller told Ilagan that he is just waiting for the order to kill the playwright and other alleged communists.“It is in the interest of the State to protect the freedom of expression in these spaces of discourse from threats of violence. Conflicting opinions often facilitate the synthesis of a peaceful, democratic middle ground.

According to the CHR, Ilagan’s works shed light on the human rights abuses perpetrated during the martial law period. Ilagan’s sister, Rizalina Ilagan, was an activist who opposed the martial law. She disappeared in 1976.
