The Commission on Human Rights continues to be alarmed over the series of killings happening around the country, with the case of Negros Oriental broadcaster Gabriel Alburo, also known as Kumander Agila on radio, as the newest addition in the death count.

Attacks through riding in tandem and in open, public areas continue to be carried out by a number of perpetrators, which puts at risk the safety and rights of all those in the area of incident.

The Commission condemns all forms of killings that blatantly disregards the primacy of the right to life of every person, including priests, lawyers, judges, law enforcement officers, government officials, and ordinary citizens who have been victimised by such injustice.

We equally call on the government to further intensify its efforts in guarding the rights of all, especially at this time of rampant human rights violation around.
