My second cousin Archie, a Dumaguete-based lawyer, died yesterday afternoon of three gunshot wounds to the chest. He was shot in cold blood at his office by an unknown gunman; we still unclear and unaware of the circumstances surrounding the matter. Mikaela brought his Manila-based daughter to the airport this morning and we all pray that the family has enough strength to weather this crisis. I first met Archie in college, when he walked up to me during ROTC class to introduce himself. We were together in the Honor Guard and for two training years, spent a lot of time together marching around campus with our Garand rifles and gala uniforms. I understand that he later joined the Scout Rangers and thereafter passed the bar exam. Our prayers reach out to his family at this very difficult time.
