Archbishop Oscar Cruz, DD, JCD, Archibishop of Lingayen-Dagupan, emotionally shares a reflection on the cases of Extrajudicial Killings to the panel of reactors in an open forum at Caridad Barrion Hall, St. Scholasticas College yesterday morning. Written by the archbishop"Extraducial Killings" appears to be but a euphemism---to say the least. The truth is that it points at a grim phenomenon sadly taking place in the country. 
To arrive at the key significance and implications of our focal concern about the termination of human lives in the Philippines, it will help iof consider though briefly, the matter of cosmetic nomenclatures, the actuality of an inconvenient truth, and the nature of death here and now.
Again political activitists, and media practitioners, human rights workers and lawyers, trade union leaders and churchmen have been murdered throughout the country. In conclusion, we have been long since continously taught and made to understand that a government is "of the people, for the people and by the poeple". When a government is of itself, for itself and by itself.
