Graph 5. Age of victims
The Commission observed that 53% of the victims were 25 to 44 years old when the
incident happened. There was no record of victim older than 74 years old while 11 victims
were children.
Other than the abovementioned attributes (i.e., sex and age), the Commission noted that
some victims were part of marginalized sectors. There were at least two victims from
indigenous groups (i.e., Ibaloi and Kankanaey) while at least three were identified to be
members of the LGBTQI community. At least three victims also had disabilities. Additionally,
at least two of the victims were also red-tagged (alleged to be members of New People’s
Army).

Out of the 1,014 victims, only 251 had information about their sources of income. Sixty
(60) victims were unemployed at the time of incident. At least 63 victims were considered
to be laborers, i.e., individuals who were engaged in construction, electricity, maintenance,
and other jobs involving physical labor. At least 27 victims work for the transportation
sector, e.g. driving jeepneys, tricycles, pedicabs, and habal-habal. Moreover, six victims were
fisherfolks while 16 were farmers.
