A Radio broadcaster has been shot dead on air in what Philippine President has said is UNACCEPTABLE
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has ordered the police to conduct a thorough investigation after a radio broadcaster was shot dead on air, the fourth journalist to be killed since the president took office in June last year.
Juan Jumalon, also known as DJ Johnny Walker, was shot by an unidentified assailant while broadcasting from his home in the southern town of Calamba on Sunday morning, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) said in a statement.
It said the “brazen killing” was captured on the Facebook livestream of his show.
“Attacks on journalists will not be tolerated in our democracy, and those who threaten the freedom of the press will face the full consequences of their actions,” Marcos Jr said in a statement.
Police said the killer got access to the studio by pretending to be a listener, shot Jumalon twice, snatched his gold necklace and escaped with an accomplice who was waiting outside on a motorbike.
