requiem

Two days ago, the 31st of December, 2005, Judge Henrick Gingoyon, aged 53, was killed. He was the presiding judge of Branch 117 of the Pasay City RTC. He was shot by two gunmen on a Honda motorcycle while he was returning home from the gym, at 12:45pm. Noon. High noon. Shot in the back. Four bullets were recovered. 0.45 caliber.

Judge Gingoyon presided over the PIATCo case, where he ruled that the government could take over the NAIA Terminal 3 if the government will pay Php3B to the Consortium.

The Supreme Court upheld his ruling with certain modifications, and remanded the case to him so that the proper amount of just compensation could be weighed and decided.

Requiem.


Journalists killed.

Judges killed.

Militants killed.

Freedom killed.

Are we free?


Requiem, my Pearl of the Orient, my P.I., my Philippine Islands.


No wonder people deign to flee from your shores- when they see that all hope is lost.

Tell me there is Hope.
