Justice for Dr. Raul Andutan

Raul Winston Andutan, a prominent urologist based in Cagayan de Oro, is a painful reminder that humans can be more dangerous than viruses, especially when armed with greed and hate amid a climate of impunity.

However, regardless of the motive and the identity of the mastermind—and even as some might point to this atrocity as another “isolated incident”—we cannot dissociate it from the climate of impunity that has enabled the killings of so many people in our country, many of whom were murdered in similar circumstances as Dr. Andutan: from gunmen riding-in-tandem to the brazenness of perpetuating murder in broad daylight or in public spaces.

In July this year, Dr. Robert Cadulong, a retired government physician, was jogging in the poblacion of Pikit, North Cotabato, when he was shot “at close range by one of two persons on a motorbike,” according to a news report. And in September, Dr. Amor Trina Dait, who worked as a resident doctor in Abra and ran for mayor of the town of Pilar in 2019, was shot in her residence.
