Luy had been “seeking attention” and sending signals to Baligod a number of times that he felt ignored, but the lawyer apparently paid no attention. Luy is also reportedly uncomfortable about Baligod being Cunanan’s counsel. In an earlier phone interview, Baligod confirmed that he is counsel for Cunanan, stressing that he had known Cunanan even before the pork barrel scandal broke out. “In fact, only after I got confirmation from Cunanan that the pork barrel of the lawmakers was misused that I found the resolve to pursue the case,” Baligod said in that interview. “It has been a rough and rugged road for us, and for all you have done, I am eternally thankful. However, I have noticed that you are very busy with your other advocacies and that is why I have decided to pursue this journey even without [you] guiding me,” a portion of Luy’s letter to Baligod said.
