We are a part of Altermidya, a network of progressive and independent media outfits, institutions, and individuals. Paghimutad was founded in the early months of 2019 at the height of Memorandum Order 32 or De-Facto Martial Law in the island as a result of a lack of progressive independent media networks in the area, especially ones dedicated to following human rights violation cases and plight of marginalized groups across Negros Island.

Various volunteer youth journalists passionate in the freedom of truthful expression and love for the free press, along with other independent writers and contributors, that wish to shed light on issues often overlooked by mainstream networks. We may not write often, but we ensure all our stories include historical context and the voices of the Negrosanon masses.

Court acquits Mabinay 6 after 7 years of detention

The Regional Trial Court Branch 42 has dismissed the charges against the Mabinay 6, peasant and youth rights advocates arrested in 2018, after nearly seven years of imprisonment.

They were captured by the 62nd Infantry Battalion in Barangay Luyang, Mabinay, Negros Oriental on March 3, 2018, and accused of illegal possession of fi****ms allegedly found during a supposed encounter.

The Mabinay 6, as they are known to be called, include, Myles Albasin, a 21-year-old community journalist and a mass communication graduate from University of the Philippines Cebu at the time of her arrest; Randel Hermino hails from a family of sugarcane workers in Negros Oriental; Carlo Ybañez grew up in an urban poor community in Cebu; Joemar Indico, Joey Vailoces, and Bernard Guillen are peasant youth organizers.

Human Rights Advocates Negros (HRAN) said the court ruling confirmed the falsity of the accusations.

“Clearly the court found that the guns and ammunitions are planted evidence to justify the illegal arrest,” HRAN stated.

The group said the seven years of imprisonment amounted to a grave injustice.

“Those responsible for falsifying testimonies should be the ones hauled to jail,” HRAN added.
