NPA punishes Col. Sebastian, inveterate fascist and war criminal
The NPA Ulpiano Anareta Jr. Command meted the death penalty on war criminal Ret. Col. Eduardo Sebastian, 61, on January 12 in Barangay Mayao, Lucena City.
Sebastian was punished because of his grave crimes and human rights violations against the people. He was among the Marcos dictatorship�s most notorious henchmen. As AFP Southern Luzon Military Intelligence Group (MIG) chief, he was principally responsible for the mass arrest, torture, summary killing and abduction of activists under martial law from the 1970s to the 1980s.
Sebastian was personally responsible for the arrest, torture and gang rape of Adora Faye de Vera from 1976 to 1977. He kept de Vera as a sex slave for several months before her release in 1977.
Sebastian was also involved in the abduction and forced disappearance of Rizalina Ilagan, Cristina Catalla and Erwin de la Torre in July-August 1977. He was likewise responsible for the disappearance of Modesto �Bong� Sison, Leticia Pascual Ladlad, Jessica Sales and Reynaldo Cruz.
According to Communist Party of the Philippines spokesperson Gregorio �Ka Roger� Rosal, Sebastian�s punishment forms part of the revolutionary movement�s continuing effort to obtain justice for the victims of the Marcos fascist dictatorship.
Sebastian was an officer of the defunct Philippine Constabulary-Integrated National Police assigned to the Southern Luzon Command intelligence unit under Gen. Alejandro Galido. He became PNP provincial director of Oriental Mindoro from 1995-1996, and of Quezon from 1996-1997 before he retired.
