Just when we thought we had turned the corner on a period marked by a frenzy of killings comes the brutal murder of a lawyer in Abra province last week, the third lawyer slain under the one-year-old Marcos administration. Ma. Saniata Liwliwa Gonzales Alzate was gunned down while inside her car parked in front of her house on Thursday afternoon, in what Abra Gov. Dominic Valera described as a 'merciless' killing. So brazen was the attack that the two motorcycle-riding assailants did not even bother to conceal their faces and were seen on CCTV doing the dastardly act.
