Tagaytay 5 dares PNP on Cavite labor killings
December 18, 2006 at 11:25 am | In Campaigns | Leave a CommentWe, the Tagaytay 5, condemn in the strongest possible terms the cold-blooded murder of Jesus “Buth” Servida, former president of the EMI-Independent labor union and the frustrated murder of Joel Sale and two other former active union officers of the EMI labor union last December 11, 2006 in front of the EMI factory in Imus, Cavite. We bring to the gates of the Cavite PNP and the Office of the Provincial Governor the responsibility for their failure to avert this latest outbreak of industrial violence that has plagued the EMI factory in the last two years.
As we mourn the untimely yet violent demise of Pangulong Buth, we dare the top leadership of the PNP, namely Director General Oscar Calderon and PRO-CALABARZON C/Supt Nicasio Radovan to get to the roots of the intermittent violence in EMI, identify and immediately ferret out the murderers and key operators of this dastardly act. Sacking and reassigning the inept and alibi-prone police officers of the Cavite PNP will not be enough to solve the spiraling industrial-labor violence in the province. Getting to the bottom and placing the cold-blooded murderers behind bars may help solve the problem.

Tagaytay 5 challenges Japan on Cavite labor killings
December 18, 2006 at 11:22 am | In Human Rights | Leave a CommentWe, the Tagaytay 5, steadfastly challenge the Government of Japan to be true to its human rights rhetoric, in the light of the latest outbreak in industrial violence in the EMI-Yazaki factory in Imus, Cavite where Jesus “Buth” Servida, the genuine workers’ union former president was shot treacherously by bonnet-wearing murderers last 11 December 2006. We dare Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Foreign Minister Taro Aso to be seriously concerned with this dastardly act of human rights violation, and make true their warning to the Arroyo government that “the Philippines must improve its human rights record as a condition to receiving more economic aid.”
EMI-Yazaki in Imus, Cavite is one of the biggest and oldest Japanese investments in Cavite and the entire CALABARZON region, and is a major supplier of automotive electrical harness to such Japanese industrial giants such as Toyota, Honda, and Mitsubishi. Unfortunately though, EMI-Yazaki is also the site for two murders and an attempted assassination of top union leaders of EMI in the past two years.

October 8, 2006 at 5:53 am | In Campaigns | 2 CommentsToday, October 9, 2006, a new chapter unveils in the slow, tortuous saga of the Tagaytay 5, even as we continue to demand that the Arroyo government dutifully respect the constitutional guarantees on due process and equal protection of law.

160TH Day of Illegal Detention
October 6, 2006 at 6:05 am | In Campaigns | Leave a CommentWe, the Tagaytay 5, denounce in very strong terms, the new round of strong negligence and utter disregard of detainees basic rights and welfare after the wide destruction in CALABARZON in the aftermath of “Milenyo”.
Eight days after “Milenyo” left, the entire Camp Vicente Lim (Headquarters of PNP PRO-4A CALABARZON and 4B MIMAROPA) and its environs is still under darkness and no regular supply of water. Classes in this area are still suspended; normal office businesses in PRO-4 are in disarray. Even policemen on duty always complain on the unusually very long power and water supply interruption.
