Raymond Manalo tells Storyline: They poured urine on me

Raymond Manalo was abducted with his brother on November 2006. When he surfaced on June 2007, he told a stunning story of military torture, murder and rape.

The Supreme Court, in its decision to grant the brothers the writ of Amparo, said that it found Raymond Manalo's account "harrowing" as well as "clear and convincing."

The day Raymond Manalo escaped was the day he promised himself they would pay, all of them who raped Karen Empeno and Sherlyn Cadapan, those who whipped them with chains and barbed wire, who treated them as little less than pigs.

They can still kill him, he says. But even if they do it will be too late. He's told his story.

On Friday, January 16, Raymong Manalo will tell his story, and for the first time will allow the camera to show his face on national television. Watch him tell his story on ANC's Storyline at 6 pm, along with HIV-positive Wanggo Gallaga and cancer survivor Eloisa Salisi. Replays on Friday, 11pm, Sunday 3pm, and Monday at 3am.
