On March 25, 2024, Reota was allegedly apprehended by the 85th Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army after an alleged encounter between military forces and suspected members of the New People's Army in Calauag, Quezon.

Panaghiusa reminds the Armed Forces of the Philippines to uphold international humanitarian law and adhere to the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL). It emphasizes the need to safeguard the rights of Randy Reota. Failing to reveal his location is a clear breach of international humanitarian law and warrants condemnation.

As of the moment, the 85th Infantry Battalion has not provided any information on Randy Reota's well-being. 

Join us in calling the 85th IBPA to surface Randy Reota and respect the International Humanitarian Law.
