Purificacion "Puri" Abarro Pedro (September 22, 1948 – January 23, 1977) was a Filipino social worker and Catholic layman who was killed by soldiers under the dictatorship of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos at the Bataan Provincial Hospital in 1977.
[7] In 1975, she resigned from her Parish job, convinced that she had to do what she could to help the various Indigenous People communities which resisted the Chico River Dam Project.
Her visit happened to coincide with a military assault on the camp where her friends were based, and Pedro was injured in the operation, taking a bullet wound in her shoulder.
[7] For her martyrdom, and for her parish and volunteer work, including her time with the Kalinga and Bontoc peoples who resisted the Chico River Dam Project, she was honored by having her name inscribed on the wall of remembrance at the Philippines' Bantayog ng mga Bayani (monument of heroes).
[7] She is also honored as one of the five "woman martyrs" of the University of the Philippines Diliman,[8] and she is listed among Filipino Catholics nominated to be named Servant of God.
