Currently gripping the towns of Bauko and Bontoc in Mt. Province is the case of Stefene Galidan, a 20 year old student who died on November 5 while being treated at a hospital. He was brought to the hospital by policemen who accosted him earlier for curfew violations.
The police report by the Bontoc Municipal Police Station stated that Galidan was brought by the policemen to the hospital after he fell off the police patrol car. However, many people are not buying the police report. An indignation rally was recently held in Bontoc calling for the truth. The five cops involved in the case were also relieved from their posts.
Below is a copy of the autopsy report conducted by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). If you can't view the photo of the report, we've also added a transcript of it below.
