Inquiry regarding the Toboso 19 casualty in the Philippines (⚠️TW: cold, uncensored corpse on the second image) NSFW
Hello, I am wondering if this would be the right place to ask for an independent investigation regarding a recent event here in our country.
On the 19th of April, around 4 am, the armed forces of the Philippines commenced its 79th infantry battalion in Toboso, Negros Occidental after reports of terrorism in that area. In the same event are journalists, activists, and student leaders whose lives were also taken during the encounter.
One of those lives was Alyssa Alano, a political science student in the Philippines who is conducting a study in the area after last year's reports on land grabbing and other difficulties with our farmers. Many of the accusations from my fellow Filipinos were that she was a part of the terrorist group and rejoiced online about her death. Comments are also flooded with insults to her death being related to corned beef as many Filipinos see her as nothing more than a human but as if a mere hunted animal. We are experiencing a moral decay and have lost sensitivity when it comes to these things.
We cannot sketch a detailed timeline from the information available online as well as with what I've got so far. Nor can we answer if her intention was really to conduct a study in the area as the AFP stated that they witnessed her equipped with battle gear in the encounter. There are so many questions that we cannot answer by mere arguments alone. But I have managed to screenshot an uncensored image of her from the very people who are mocking her death.
- in the uncensored image, I cannot find any clear gunshot wounds, but I can see a yellow discoloration on her neck and the side of her forehead. Although her neck is not fully visible as the strap of a sling bag was on top of it.
- she is also thin and underweight for my mind to make sense that she is carrying battle equipment such as M16 as said by the comments online.
- her hair was also dyed black during the encounter, but red before. Some people are thinking that this is so that she can camouflage better in the jungle but I don't really know.
Any insights from the second image will be helpful for us for getting at least a bit of objective truth.

If she was part of the NPA (New People's Army), she was certainly capable of using an M16 because they receive training.
In cases of armed political struggle, it will be difficult to find information that definitively concludes what happened, since there is often distortion—especially in cases involving land grabbing.
I am from Brazil, and many cases like this happen here and get distorted. Many people I knew were killed by police or militias hired by landowners for protesting against land grabbers or the occupation of unused fertile land, and they are always labeled as criminals.
I hope the comrade rests in peace and that justice prevails against those who corrupt our peace.

I've seen women as skinny as her yet perfectly shoot an M16 style rifle prone or standing up.
