A mass grave was discovered by elements of the 43rd Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army in August 2006 at Sitio Mount Sapang Daco, Barangay Kaulisihan, Inopacan, Leyte.
What you will see in the photos are skeletal remains dug out in the infamous killing field in the mountainous part of Inopacan. The site has been referred to as the Garden. The bones were believed to be those of victims of “Operation Venereal Disease” (a.k.a. Oplan Ahos, or Kampanyang Ahos) launched by the Communist Party of the Philippines, New People’s Army and National Democratic Front to purge their ranks of suspected military informers.
While they despised and hated the rule of martial law in the lowland, we the family farmers in the mountain part of Inopacan suffered the atrocities and brutalities of the NPA rebels. The constabulary and later the army soldiers maltreated us also. We have nowhere to stay. The farmers were forced to leave the farm and settled literally within the border of the sea and land in the lowland and became fishermen.
Then one fateful night, the rebels purged a number of males in our barrio. Some of them were fathers of my playmates. Few were our relatives.
Most of the youths left Inopacan and became house helpers and workers in Metro Manila and they stayed their until now because they have nothing to come back for. The abaca farms industry were wiped out that many believed were intentionally done by saboteur. Every week someone got lost and never came back.
Then one fateful night, the rebels purged a number of males in our barrio. Some of them were fathers of my playmates. Few were our relatives. They brought the victims to the forest of Caulisihan, forced them to dig the ground, then blind folded them and shot them in the head. Their bodies were discovered and dug out later in 2006 from the ground dug by the victims in 1980's. The place is now referred to as the Garden.
I hate to retell the story. But must be told again because I hate more if that will happen again.
NEVER AGAIN!

In August 28, 2006, skeletal remains of innocent victims of Maoist terrorist’s tyranny and violence were dug up in a mass gravesite in a ridge of Mt. Sapang Dako of Inopacan, some 370 meters above sea level, by elements of the Phil. Army’s 802nd Brigade, 8ID supported by residents and former NPA rebels who claimed to have witnessed the mass killings and have since rejoined government. The Inopacan mass murders far outweighs the many OPLANS that the Maoist terrorists ordered and under the supervision of the so-called AHOS committee headed by Jose Ma. Sison, with Satur Ocampo, Vicente Ladlad, Randall Echanis, and Rafael Baylosis. photo credit to SamarNews.com
