BAGUIO CITY, Benguet, Philippines — Three activists, who asked the Supreme Court to protect them from state-led harassment last month, have been designated as terrorists by the Anti-Terrorism Council (ATC) on June 7 along with another Baguio-based colleague. A fourth CPA member, researcher Jennifer Awingan, was also tagged as a terrorist. Members of the CPA learned about the resolution from an ATC statement published in the July 10 issue of the Manila Times. The Supreme Court petition said many of the activists were subjected to false criminal charges and were exonerated. He and Molintas were included in the Department of Justice proscription case which would have designated them and 600 others as terrorists.
