Liliosa Hilao

According to an official letter from Hilao's family, only a Philippine Constabulary identification card was presented as proof of their claim.

In the morning of April 5, 1973, Liliosa would be handcuffed and taken by the CANU unit to their office at Camp Crame for questioning.

However, Josefina saw that parts of Hilao's face were said to be beaten and bloodied, an indication that she was being tortured and abused during her stay.

[5] On April 7, three days after Liliosa's arrest, Mrs. Alice Hilao Gualberto, one of her sisters, received a phone call.

She was informed that Liliosa was in critical condition and that she has been confined at the Camp Crame Station Hospital due to serious injuries.

[5] A necropsy report by the Philippine Constabulary Crime Laboratory would later list cardio-respiratory arrest as the cause of her death.

[5] Following her death, the Philippine Constabulary gave an amount of 2200 pesos to the family of Liliosa for burial expenses.

These documents were updates on executions and torture sessions of political detainees that Marcos received regularly during his presidency.

According to Davis, after the decision was made final, the Marcos family concealed their property by holding it in dummy corporations.

[9] Tate and Haynie claim that there is sufficient cause and evidence that shows that at least some justices feared for the "Supreme Court's institutional survival, if not their personal safety, as a result of the president's potential wrath.

In particular, the former role models of Maria Clara, Sisa, and Juli were recognized as stereotypes that needed to be replaced in favor of women revolutionaries and political activists such as Liliosa Hilao.
