Filipino journalist shot dead while watching TV in store | AP News

Jesus Malabanan, a 58-year-old provincial correspondent for the Manila Standard newspaper, died while being transported to a hospital after being shot once in the head by one of two motorcycle-riding men Wednesday night at a family store he was tending in Calbayog city in Samar province, police and officials said Thursday.

Media watchdog groups condemned the killing, including Malabanan’s colleagues in Pampanga, a province north of Manila where he was based and worked for years as a news correspondent and as a stringer for Reuters.A media protection body created by President Rodrigo Duterte strongly condemned the killing and vowed to arrest the killers.

While the mass killing was later linked to a violent electoral rivalry common in many rural areas, it also showcased the threats faced by journalists in the Philippines. A surfeit of unlicensed guns and private armies controlled by powerful clans and weak law enforcement in rural regions are among the security concerns journalists face in the poverty-stricken Southeast Asian country.

Not that it's much safer for journalists here. Remember this from 2018?

Truly sad and tragic that journalists in the Philippines are assassinated, hopefully the new elected President next year whoever it may be put a stop to it.

She can tell about a plane crash with a gleam in her eye, she provides surveillance and communicates drug sales, she dispatches the police to intercept the American fool with a little bag, she wants the borders open.
