Father Zacarias Guimmayen Agatep (September 6, 1936 – October 27, 1982),[1] also known by his nickname Apo Kari, was a Filipino Roman Catholic parish priest who was killed for speaking against foreign and local monopolies in Ilocos Sur's tobacco industry during the dictatorship of President Ferdinand Marcos. He has formally been honored as a hero of democracy who fought against the dictatorship, having had his name etched on the wall of remembrance of the Philippines' Bantayog ng mga Bayani.

Advocacy work

As the parish priest of Our Lady of Hope Parish in Caoayan, Ilocos Sur father Agatep helped organize cooperatives, taught interested farmers about land reform, and spoke against foreign and local monopolies in the tobacco industry, which formed the backbone of Ilocos Sur's economy at the time.[2]

Arrest and release

He was arrested for supposed "subversion" in 1980 and was incarcerated for four months until he was released as part of Marcos public relations efforts in preparation for a visit by Pope John Paul II. Upon his release, he famously wrote a letter to the President, decrying what he described as a "frame-up" and lamenting the miscarriage of justice typical under the Marcos administration.[3]

Death

Father Agatep kept speaking out against the abuses of the Marcos administration until he was shot four times in the back by unidentified gunmen in October 1982.[4][5]
