Today, we will see two ‘Quimpo’ names carved on the wall of remembrance. They are Ronald Jan and Ishmael ‘Jun’ Quimpo. Both were college activists during the time of Martial Law. Both were abducted and tortured. Only Jun’s remains were seen. Jan Quimpo was never seen again by his family and fellow activists. But he will always be remembered for his bravery and sacrifices.

This is shameful. Today, here we have a sensible, honest, productive member of our community. I cannot say I am quite sure how girls dancing in the woods singing songs translates to witchcraft, but the community says it so.
