DESPARARECIDOS: Corazon Estojero, 66, points to Senator Pia Cayetano, chair of the Senate Committee on Women, Family Relations and Gender Equality, a photograph of her husband, Edgardo, a labor organizer who was abducted by unidentified armed men in 1987 and remains missing to this day. Cayetano and relatives of “missing” victims had organized a forum and exhibit dubbed ”Desaparecidos,” or persons who disappeared, at the Philippine Senate on Monday, September 01, 2014, to mark the International Day of the Disappeared. “The time has come for us to bring the issue of enforced disappearance back into the public sphere, to talk about this harsh reality and take action to prevent any more lives from vanishing without a trace,” Cayetano said.
