summary executions
BY RENE GENOVE
Government and police officials in Dumaguete City and Oriental Negros said they do not favor the vigilante type of killing, known in Cebu and Davao, in dealing with the growing problem of cellphone snatching, robbery and killings.
Dumaguete Mayor Agustin Perdices said the summary killing of suspected criminals is illegal. "As Christians we have no right to take the life of anybody."
"What we would like to see is for these criminals to
be put behind bars," Perdices said.

Police identified the fisherman as Lope Martinez, and the operator of the heavier craft as Raymund Villacorta, 27, both fishermen from Brgy. Nagbualao, Basay. Police investigations showed that Martinez, on board his 20-foot
3-horsepower pumpboat was looking for his fishing drift net when
Villacorta's 50-foot 4D30 vessel suddenly appeared and hit his boat.
