Al Surigao: People's lawyer, martyr [Summary] => June 24, 2006 marks the 19th death anniversary of Atty. Alfonso Surigao- people's lawyer, human rights advocate and victim of the system of injustice he fought against and paid dearly for with his life.

Atty. Surigao personifies the triumph of love of country amid lure of personal fame and grandeur thereby lifting his profession into active engagement with the poor. He put flesh to the call for people's lawyering long before the term became trendy. He relentlessly pursued justice even if it means going after the perpetrators lurking in the halls of government.
