Julio Mañacup is a 28-year-old engineer; together with Ernesto Bacani, he was abducted by the military on February 17, 1986.  A certain military informer was among the abductors, according to the father of the victim, Julio, and his friend Ernesto was eating in a carinderia when military men forcibly abducted Julio and shoved him inside an owner-type jeep without a plate number, and then it sped away.  Julio was an active UNIDO member and pool watcher during the February 7, 1986 snap election.  The next day, February 18, 1986, relatives of the 2 missing men went to the PC detachment in Sta. Cruz and talked with the captain, only to be told that they must admit that the 2 men were members of the NPA and they will surface.  The relatives also checked other military camps and detachments but never found Julio or Ernesto.
