The Cassandra Martyrs of Charity were a group of twelve Catholic and Protestant religious workers who perished in the sinking of the M/V Doña Cassandra off the coast of Surigao on November 21, 1983.[1][2][3]
They were involved in charity work to serve communities impoverished and marginalized under the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos, and were on their way to a retreat and planning meeting in a Cebu city when their vessel began to capsize after being battered by Typhoon Warling (International name: Orchid).[4] As a group, they were last seen "praying, distributing life vests, helping children put theirs on, instructing other passengers to hasten towards the life rafts and to be ready to abandon ship,"[1] but perished when emergency supplies ran out and the boat finally sank.[5][6]
Some of the group's members were later honored by having their names inscribed on the Wall of Remembrance at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani, which honors the heroes and martyrs whose actions eventually helped bring down the authoritarian regime.[7]
