The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) has assured its full cooperation in the investigation and prosecution of cases involving the continued killing of judges, prosecutors, and lawyers in the country.
“The IBP grieves and is appalled by the increasing and sheer number of assassinations of lawyers, judges, and prosecutors with impunity,” the IBP said through its President Burt M. Estrada.
It said that compared to the average of less than 10 lawyers killed in every administration since 1972, “the numbers, as these now stand under the present administration, have alarmingly increased by as much as 500 percent.”
