Sherlyn Cadapan (birthdate unknown ~ June 26, 2006) and Karen Empeño (July 22, 1983 ~ June 26, 2006) were two University of the Philippines alumnae accused of being members of the Communist Party of the Philippines who disappeared in Hagonoy, Bulacan on June 26, 2006, under the rule of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
The leftist political party Bagong Alyansang Makabayan has accused the Armed Forces of the Philippines of being involved in the women's disappearance and alleged deaths. Former general and former congressman Jovito Palparan–known as Berdugo ("Butcher") for his alleged involvement–is implicated by the Philippine government in 2011 for kidnapping, torture, and murder. He was arrested for the disappearances in 2014.
