TUGUEGARAO CITY — With the police still clueless on last Saturday’s gunslaying of the leader of a local peasant organization, militant groups here suspect that the campaign of his group against what they described as big-time usurers could have something to do with the killing.


The victim, Joey Javier, who headed the left-leaning Caguimungan peasant group in remote Baggao town, led a campaign against usurers victimizing farmers, who were being forced to sell their produce at very low prices just to repay their obligations.

TUGUEGARAO CITY — A peasant leader in the Cagayan town of Baggao was gunned down Saturday after stepping out of a meeting with his fellow officers, police said.


The victim, Joey Javier, president of the Caguimungan peasant group, an affiliate of the militant Bagong Alyansang Makabayan, was shot by two men at close range with caliber .45 pistols, police said.


Last month, the office of the Santo Domingo Cooperative, of which Javier was a board director, was torched. — Charlie Lagasca
