<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Former Commission on Human Rights Chairperson Loretta Rosales was an activist and a teacher during the Marcos regime.<br /><br />The daughter of a Navy captain who died during World War II was a hot target by the military for being active in street protests. She was arrested twice, where she was repeatedly raped and tortured – at one point by military agents who turned out to be her students.<br /><br />Beyond the physical pain, the torture she hated the most was how the military played the songs they sang on the streets while she suffered.<br /><br />They used the beautiful songs of love of country to dehumanize and mock her for fighting for the people's rights. "I hated it, I hated them for playing those songs. They were beautiful songs," she said.<br /><br /><br /><br /></span><h4>
