More Filipino Activists Murdered

The National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP) reports: " In the last three weeks alone, we have had FOUR church workers and members slain by assassins, and TWO frustrated murders...." The latest story is this:

At around 6.00 in the evening of May 27, 2006, NOEL NOLI CAPULONG was on his way home after visiting a "botica ng bayan" project of Bayan Muna. He never reached home. Motorcycle riding men pumped four bullets in his body in Barangay Parian, Calamba City, Laguna.

Capulong was characterized as a leftist leader by INQ7.net, which also wrote he is "the 258th activists to be murdered since President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo assumed power in 2001."
