CEBU CITY, Philippines - A surviving family member of three people murdered in 1991 is opposing the granting of executive clemency to the six people accused of carrying out the killings.

Antonieta Durado, 59, said she was afraid that if those who killed her husband and two of their children were freed, they would go after her and her remaining five children.

Speaking before media on Monday with her face covered, Durado, a resident of Asturias town in western Cebu, said she had filed her opposition of the possible granting of executive clemency for the accused.

Durado?s opposition, through the assistance of lawyer Mundlyn Misal-Martin, was submitted to Girlie Magaspac, chief parole officer of the Board of Pardon and Parole in central office in Quezon City.

The opposition states that the accused, Lochimbar Rojo and five others, were convicted for several counts of murder and kidnapping for the death of Durado?s husband Regalado and their children Gerry, 17, and Rosalie, 15.

The convicts, all members of the defunct Citizen?s Armed Forces Geographical Unit, accused the family of being members of a front organization of the New People?s Army.

The six were tried and found guilty of torturing and killing Regalado and the two children. The opposition said Rosalie was raped before she was killed. Their bodies were later burned.

Durado, through Martin, said Rojo and the other accused were still threats to society, as they did not show remorse for their crimes.

The accused has already been marked callous and is a threat to the tranquility and serenity of civilization,? Durado?s petition read.
