? We are calling the attention of the PNP to ensure the safety not only our lawyers, but all the people,” Oliva said.
Dela Cerna came from a court proceeding of one of the cases he handles when the incident happened. The lawyer survived the attempt on his life as he managed to drive his white sports utility vehicle to the nearby Waterfront Police Station. “We condemn in the highest forms the attempt to take the life of Attorney Inocencio Dela Cerna. We call upon our police force to ensure the safety of our legal practitioners in our locality,” Oliva said in a Facebook post.
Oliva said she is scheduling a meeting with Police Regional Office Central Visayas Director Debold Sinas to discuss the safety of lawyers in Cebu.Dela Cerna is not the first lawyer to have been ambushed in front of the Qimonda IT Center. In February 2018, former Ronda vice mayor and lawyer Jonah John Ungab was killed in an ambush after he attended a hearing of his client, alleged big-time drug lord Kerwin Espinosa.Oliva also urged all lawyers to maximize the potential of their safety individually by attending self-protection seminars and training. /bmjoThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
