A thread based from lawyer Jobert Pahilga’s post on Facebook.
His father was a native of Ilocos Sur, while his mother was from the nearby province of Abra.
Ka Randy was married to fellow activist Erlinda “Ka Linda” Lacaba Echanis.
The Marcos regime arrested him in 1983.
Even his close relatives and lawyers were not allowed to visit him.
For two years, Ka Randy was placed under solitary confinement.
Upon his release, he again became active in SELDA and helped process victims' claims in the SELDA-initiated class action suit against Marcos.
The Supreme Court dismissed the case in 2007.
He was killed today in his Novaliches home.
