Three fishermen were declared missing by their families after they were forcibly abducted in their residences by members of a composite team of CAFGU, RSAF, and Special Forces on February 11, 1990.  Declared missing were Efren Concepcion, 39, married; Reynaldo Santos, 39, married; and Nicolas Lopez, single, all residents of Hagonoy, Bulacan.  According to Estelita Concepcion, wife of Efren, a CAFGU element entered their house at about 3:00 o'clock early in the morning together with some fifty military men wearing camouflage and armed with high-powered guns. The group forcibly took her husband outside and brought him to a nearby chapel of Sta. Cruz, Bulacan. Witnesses heard Efren moaning in pain inside the chapel.  Nicolas Lopez and Reynaldo Santos were also taken from their house by the military men. Both were dragged out of their residences. Lopez was brought to a former Marine detachment in Brgy. Sasan, Sto. Rosario in Bulacan, while Santos was brought to Brgy. Mercado, Hagonoy, Bulacan.  Efforts of their families and friends to locate them were in vain. They are still missing up to now.
