Statement of the Young Lawyer’s Association of Cebu, Inc. (YLAC) on the killing of Atty. Jonnah John Ungab

The Young Lawyer’s Association of Cebu, Inc. (YLAC) condemns in the strongest and highest possible terms the murder of fellow brother Atty. Jonah John “Janjan” Ungab.

He is a pillar of the group and supporter of all the group’s causes and activities.

A person who has a great smile and is best remembered for his kind heart.

Indeed, his loss today at the hands of perpetrators who have no knack for fair play and Justice is a big slap to us fellow lawyers who as officers of the court adhere to the dispensation of Justice.

Our brother, Atty. Ungab has been known to accept cases where most lawyers would not dare engage in, he has fought diligently in these cases and has brought Justice to his clients.

His loss today brings sadness to us, his fellow brothers in the profession.

YLAC joins the calls for all the law enforcement entities – the Philippine National Police, the CIDG, the NBI, as well as the government to do all means so that Justice to be served on our brother, Atty. Ungab.

Rest assured YLAC through all its member and resources would likewise strive to find Justice for Janjan and ensure that this will be served.
