The timing of the activity further fueled public suspicion.
Not long before Coโs visit, government forces clashed with NPA members in Licuan-Baay, Abra, in an encounter involving units under the 5th Infantry Division and alleged remnants of the Ilocos-Cordillera Regional Committee. Shortly after the clash, Anakbayan, a convening organization of Kabataan Partylist, publicly honored those killed as martyrs.
Against this backdrop, the decision of Co to hold a campus consultation in another Cordillera province inevitably attracted attention. For residents still processing the latest violence in the region, the presence of a Kabataan representative soon after a related youth organization honored those killed in an armed encounter heightened existing distrust.
