At least nine activists have been killed following simultaneous police raids in the northern Philippines on March 7, 2021, in what has been defined a "Bloody Sunday" by rights groups. The raids were carried out after President Rodrigo Duterte ordered government forces to “kill” and “finish off” all alleged communist rebels in the country. Six people were also arrested during the raids in three provinces surrounding Metro Manila, while at least six others “escaped”. Union leader Elizabeth “Mags”Camoral, former union president of F-Tech and current spokesperson of Bayan-Laguna, was arrested reportedly on trumped-up charges.
