MANILA - Members of the National Union of People's Lawyers on Thursday cried foul over the stabbing attack of an officer in their chapter in Iloilo, and denied that the incident was due to robbery.

MANILA - Members of the National Union of People's Lawyers on Thursday cried foul over the stabbing attack of an officer in their chapter in Iloilo, and denied that the incident was due to robbery.

Contrary to a police report that claimed the attack was due to robbery, Estocapio said it appeared to be related to Guillen's work with indigenous group Tumandok, following the establishment of the Iloilo Council for Ecumenism Lawyers' Group on Saturday. The lawyer has supposedly been subjected to surveillance, a reason why he had to transfer residences.

"We will not take this sitting down...Hindi natin hahayaan na ito ay magpapatuloy. Hindi ito ang dahilan para magpapaatras sa atin sa ating adbokasiya,” said Cortez. NUPL member Kristina Conti, on the other hand, described Guillen’s crucial role in Panay after helping in different legal cases. She said that he was also the co-counsel in Bayan Muna’s petition against the Anti-Terrorism Act.

“Lawyers only do their function to protect their clients. As a lawyer myself this is doubly important for me to be solved,” Treñas said in a Facebook post.

For all we know it's another staged drama by the commies. Remember the bag of bomb meant to scare the EDSA rallysts? Turns out it's Renato Reyes' guy. And don't forget the 'death threat me' saga, the stolen SIM card of their budding comrades at UPLB, sending threats to themselves
