Everyone was shocked yesterday after a former Mayor Lapitan in Southern Philippines was killed by a town mate, a doctor, inside a well known elite university.in QC. Two others were killed: the security aide of former mayor and security guard. The assailant a doctor from the mayors town was eventually caught This brings to mind several things:
1. A tightened security may be imposed in schools especially during graduation; The security in the said university could be lax. This is the trend in US where there are many mass shootings in schools.
2. A strict gun ban law or even a gun ban for SONA cant prevent a determined assassin or murderer from carrying out his evil deed
3 A security for former govt elected official is in order
4. That the victim's family is part of political dynasty in her city
5. That city hall wields so much power to persecute a private citizen;
6 That revenge while fruitless at the end of the day, is alive in most individuals who feel aggrieved
that the only remedy is revenge
7. This is speculative: that it happened in the campus of an institution putting its finger in politics and other frontline events, poses a danger to the institution actively fighting a the frontline. The hideous
deed of the Dr. is condemnable though
8. Our police/security force is functionaal and should be congratulated for quick apprehension of the
alleged assailant
