The son of murdered activist Jose Reynaldo “Jory” Porquia on Monday pleaded with Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra to help their family secure justice for their slain father, whose execution-style killing in Iloilo City nearly a year ago has remained unsolved. Lean Redino Porquia went to the Department of Justice (DOJ) in Manila to personally deliver his letter asking Guevarra to order a special body tasked to probe extrajudicial killings to include the case of his father in its investigation. The elder Porquia, 58, was reportedly Red-tagged by the local police shortly after he started community kitchens that provided free cooked meals to those affected by the lockdown.
