CEBU CITY — Less than two hours after accompaying self-confessed drug lord Rolando “Kerwin” Espinosa Jr. in the courtroom, lawyer Jonah John Ungab was killed in an ambush in broad daylight on Monday on one of the busiest streets in Cebu City. SPO1 Winston Ybañez, investigator of the Cebu City Police Office’s Homicide Section, said they were looking into all angles of the crime. Espinosa was flown to Cebu City on Monday to attend the promulgation of his cases in Cebu City. The assailant boarded a get-away motorcycle driven by another person in full-face helmet and sped towards downtown Cebu City. Lawyer Mundlyn Misal-Martin, president of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines Cebu Chapter, denounced the killing of Ungab, the 10th lawyer in Cebu killed by gunmen since 2004.
