The ones who were killed were Chad Booc, Gelejurain "Jurain" Ngujo II, Elegyn Balonga, Tirso Añar, and Robert Aragon—collectively termed as 'New Bataan 5'.

He was arrested twice: first at the Batasang Pambansa in July 17, 2017, along with other youth, in protest against Martial Law in Mindanao under President Rodrigo Duterte, and second, in Cebu City on February 15, 2021, during a police raid against a Lumad sanctuary in University of San Carlos.

[6] Gelejurain "Jurain" Ngujo II was a graduate of Liceo de Davao – Briz Campus in Tagum City with a degree in Secondary Education majoring in English.

[4] Elegyn Balonga was a community health worker from the United Church of Christ in the Philippines particularly in Haran, Davao City, which has served as a sanctuary for Lumads fleeing militarization from AFP and paramilitaries.

[2] According to Bagong Alyansa Makabayan Secretary General Renato Reyes, dissenters like Booc are not terrorists, contrary to the AFP claim.

Vice presidential aspirant Senator Kiko Pangilingan said that impunity in the country must stop, after reading a placard demanding justice for New Bataan 5 at a campaign sortie.

[11] On April 4, 2022, commemorating forty days after the massacre, religious people, students, and other advocates conducted an ecumenical service and tree-planting ceremony in UP Diliman.
