Alvarez was also among the hundreds of individuals the government wanted to declare as terrorists in a proscription case filed in February 2018.Former Anakpawis congressman Ariel Casilao said Echanis, who was the national chairperson of the party-list, “was undergoing medical treatment, and unarmed when police forces raided his house.”
