  • Jose Pacturayan Dizon (September 29, 1948 – November 4, 2013), better known as Father Joe Dizon (often written as Fr. Joe Dizon), was an activist priest in the Philippines who fought against the dictatorship of then President Ferdinand Marcos. Dizon led protest actions against government corruption and human rights abuses during martial law in the Philippines, political dynasties, and the pork barrel system. At protest rallies against the Marcos dictatorship, he would say mass to prevent violent dispersal by the government and to boost the morale of demonstrators. He actively campaigned for honest elections and helped form people's organizations in rural areas to support those dealing with land grabbing, military abuses, and hamletting. He was spokesperson for the Estrada Resign Movement and Plunder Watch, which were instrumental in the EDSA 2 people's uprising that deposed then President Joseph Estrada. He also headed a movement to oust Estrada's successor, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on allegations of corruption, electoral fraud, and human rights violations. Bagong Alyansang Makabayan chairperson Dr. Carol Araullo described him as "an example of a progressive priest, an undisguised Leftist, and a national democrat since the darkest years of martial law who was able to relate to and bring into broad alliances even avowed anti-Left personalities such as conservative bishops, traditional politicians, the upper crust of society over popular issues." He was "a shining example of a man-of-the-cloth who transcended the traditional role of a priest in Philippine society" whose lifelong mantra was "Sandigan ang masa; paglingkuran ang sambayanan" ("Rely on the masses; serve the people"). He died of complications from diabetes at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute on November 12, 2013, at the age of 65. Dizon was awarded the Tji Hak-Soon Justice and Peace Award in South Korea. His name was added to the Bantayog ng mga Bayani Wall of Remembrance on November 30, 2017. (en)
