A closed-circuit television in the area showed that the lone gunman, who wore a red jacket, immediately boarded a getaway motorcycle driven by another person.In a tally made by the Inquirer, at least 15 lawyers in Cebu had been killed since 2004.
Lawyer Edre Olalia, president of the National Union of People’s Lawyers , decried the murder of Fernandez, who was a founding member of the group in 2007 and a counsel of human rights organization Karapatan. “Before he was silenced, he castigated the present administration which he had hitherto placed his sincere hope on would bring change. He died disillusioned that it was not meant to be. Rest in peace already Rex. You fought a good fight,” he added.Last August 13, 2021, Fernandez held a “hunger strike” after the management of the condominium he was living in cut his water supply even though he secured an injunction against the developer.
In an earlier interview, Fernandez said he conducted the hunger strike to send a message to Contempo Property Holdings Inc., who developed and managed the condominium, that their gesture of cutting his water supply for non-payment of condominium corporation dues deprived him of his right to live.
