“We, lawyers, only perform the duties we sworn to do and seek to uphold the rule of law regardless who we represent. We are not cowered by a series of attacks against members of the bench and the bar. But we denounce the formative culture of subjecting lawyers to attack for enforcing the rights of the people,” said Integrated Bar of the Philippines in a statement released Thursday, March 4.
Based on CCTV footages, two men wearing facemasks and baseball caps were seen approaching Guillen. One of them stabbed the lawyer. The duo was then picked up by two separate motorcycles and fled. Guillen was also among those who were arrested last May 2020. Guillen tried to negotiate with police to allow the protest of the killing of activist Jory Porquia even though there was strict lockdown due to the pandemic.
