Probe harassment, killings of Filipino workers, ILO asked

“Aside from repetitive and persistent violations primarily by state forces, there is a dire lack of effective and accessible domestic mechanisms for redress and accountability, thereby showing the State party’s failure to adhere and comply with ILO Convention No. 87,” the report read.

These include the killings of trade union leader Emmanuel Asuncion, who was killed in the March 2021 “Bloody Sunday” raid that killed eight others; as well as Dandy Miguel, a paralegal who handled their cases.Karapatan noted that trade unionists “seem to have been marked for political persecution before they were arrested and imprisoned through Red-tagging, surveillance and other forms of threats and harassments.

Among those most affected by this practice are members of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers, who recorded at least 37 incidents of Red-tagging of its members by government officials, particularly from the Department of Education now headed by Vice President Sara Duterte.
