“An attack on our judges is an assault on the Rule of Law.  This has no place in a civilized society like ours,” he added.

According to the police, San Joaquin and a staffer of hers, Rocelle Martinez, were shot at by two assailants on a motorcycle at around 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday aboard a vehicle heading for  Naga City.
