He briefly lost his way in his teenage years when he figured in several school brawls, became a frequent drinker and engaged in the use of illegal drugs. He eventually found his purpose when he was tapped to organize the youth for anti-drug campaigns and sports contests.
Chuck eventually organized larger protests that involved pushing for laborers' rights and fair treatment, as well as efforts to raise awareness of the Marcos government’s excesses.
In 1980, a military agent shot him in the face and left him to die in a garbage dump in Cavite. The bullet went through his cheek and out his throat, but Chuck survived the incident.
Two years after, Chuck and his farmer friend were ambushed by soldiers. They were captured alive, but their dead bodies that bore several gunshot wounds were paraded in front of the San Jose Panganiban municipal hall in Camarines Norte.
