    This was being forwarded in our forum. I don't know if this was being discuss here already but kindly delete if double post. Here is the letter written by Lilian de Vera;

    "Two months ago I considered myself as one of those blessed
    and happiest people on earth. Why not? I married a guy who
    was an epitome of kindness. A guy who worshipped even the
    footsteps I made. More importantly, our union blessed us with
    a daughter who not only became the main source of our
    happiness….more so; she was the center of our lives.

    We're simple folks who led a simple life. We felt the
    happiest even about mundane things and inconsequential ones
    that most people would only take for granted. Our joy mostly
    revolved on simple pleasures like a sudden trip to Jollibee
    or a late night marauding of the fridge for any leftovers. A
    perfect family with simple delights, dreams and
    aspirations………until that fateful night on December 5, 2008
    .The day my husband and daughter were taken away from me in a
    very violent way. That Friday night on December 5, 2008
    marked the beginning of all the terror, anguish and misery in
    my life.

    In keeping with my ritual or "panata" on every first Friday
    of every month, I went to QuiapoChurchon the above mentioned
    date to pay homage and respect to the Almighty One. My
    husband and daughter were supposed to pick me up in
    PasayCityafter which we planned on giving our daughter a
    treat to Jollibee. While riding the jeep, I tried to call my
    husband to tell him that I was on my way to our meeting
    place. But despite all the calls I made, my husband remained
    silent. A very unusual occurrence inasmuch as he seldom
    missed my calls. Despite my trepidation and wonder, I took
    the next jeep going home and prayed that everything was
    alright. I even promised to myself that I would forgive my
    husband for not answering my calls and for forgetting to pick
    me up.

    I felt relieved when near our place my phone rung. Such
    relief was somehow only momentary….in fact the phone call I
    got was the bearer of the worst news in my entire life. My
    helper called, only to tell me that my husband and daughter
    were shot to death by "men in uniform". The same men who were
    sworned to protect innocent people from bad guys brutally
    slew the two most important persons in my life. They were the
    same men whose sacred duty was to preserve the lives of the
    public against all harm and danger. Yet…….they were the same
    men who murdered my love ones in the most cruel, savage and
    inhuman way.

    My husband's face was unrecognizable because he was shot in
    the head at close range while he was kneeling with his head
    bowed down. My daughter's young body was riddled with
    bullets, one hit her head, blowing her brains out.., all from
    too powerful guns and ammunitionsfired by the"men in uniform"
    on two innocent and defenseless persons.

    The "men in uniform" were allegedly on a mission to take some
    gang of robbers victimizing people at large. The police shot
    the crosswind van my husband and daughter were riding Based
    on some witnesses' narration, the police sprayed bullets into
    the van despite the lack of provocation or shots coming from
    the van. In his last effort to save their lives, my husband
    grabbed my bloodied daughter and shielded her with his body
    while trying to run away from the police and tried to get
    cover from a parked jeepney My husband and daughter were so
    defenseless. How can you mistake a child for a robber? How
    can you shot at someone who was already kneeling with head
    bowed, an indication of helplessness.

    My husband and daughter are gone…….forever. The pain I feel
    for their lost is too much too bear. And the only thing that
    motivates me to go on with life is the mission to seek
    justice for their senseless killing. If the people who are
    responsible for their death will be punished, if I could
    bring them the justice they so richly deserve, my pain would
    be alleviated. The misery I will live by will be lessened. My
    husband and daughter will be vindicated and I will learn to
    live the remaining years of my life in peace.

    Thus: I'm asking and begging everyone who will come across
    this letter/e-mail to forward the same to all your relatives,
    friends, and acquaintances. Help me bring my cause to the
    eyes of the people capable of steering the wheel of justice
    to the right direction. Help me make the loudest cry worthy
    of attention by those people in-charge in rendering justice
    to those who deserve it.

    Strength comes in numbers; it is where the impossible becomes
    possible. It is also where the unattainable becomes
    achievable.

    My heartfelt gratitude for everyone who will take a moment in
    their too busy lives and forward this letter/e-mail to
    everyone they know. May God always protect you and your love
    ones from all harm"

    matagal na ata yan sir.

    yan yung "paranaque shootout" kung saan e napagkamalang revo ang crosswind ng biktima.

    kawawa naman yung mga biktima. tapos na rin yung media frenzy kaya halos wala na tayong naririnig tungkol dyan sa kaso

    The shootout has been discussed before, but I'm not sure if this letter has been.

    Someone has to be responsible for those senseless deaths. I hope Mrs. De Vera keeps on writing/sharing updates so that agencies involved will feel some pressure to resolve the case.
