ONE FORGOTTEN INCIDENT: In August 1977, Achie Trajajo, a courageous student of Mapua Institute of University, stood up in an open forum to question the eldest daughter of the late dictator, Imee (now Senator), on her capability to lead the youth. Trajano was last seen being escorted by soldiers out of the forum. On September 2, 1977, Trajano’s lifeless body was found in the streets of Manila, breaing marks of torture. On March 20, 1986, Agapita Trajano filed her complaint in the US District Court for the District of Hawaii. The complaint sought damages on behalf of the estate of Archimedes Trajano for false imprisonment, kidnapping, wrongful death, and a deprivation of rights, and on behalf of Trajano's mother for emotional distress.
