ADVERTISEMENT“This horrific attack was a naked violation of Vincent’s human rights and a gross disrespect of the health-care sector,” the senator said. But his summary execution, while he was helpless on his hospital bed, adds to the harrowing spate of killings that has continued under this administration,” Hontiveros said. News reports quoting Adia’s relatives indicated that the victim had been tagged as a drug pusher by his killer, although Police Col. Joseph Arguelles, Rizal provincial police director, said he was not on the watch list of drug personalities. Hontiveros said she was aghast that the second attack took place inside a hospital. She urged the PNP to conduct “a timely, thorough, and transparent investigation into this gruesome incident.”“The PNP should also adopt rigorous protection measures for eye-witnesses who were unsparing in their details,” Hontiveros said.
