Screengrab from the livestream of 94.7 Calamba Gold FMA radio anchor was shot and killed while doing a live broadcast inside his own residence in Calamba, Misamis Occidental on Sunday.
The Philippine National Police said the shooting occurred at 5:35 a.m. while Jumalon was in the middle of his radio program on 94.7 Calamba Gold FM.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. condemned the killing as he warned that those who threatened press freedom would face the full consequences of their actions.
An SITG was formed to look into Jumalon’s killing in Misamis Occidental, as condemnation poured in regarding his shocking death while doing his show. “Jumalon’s killing is the 199th since 1986 and the fourth under the present administration,” it noted, adding that it also comes in the same week as the International Day to End Impunity For Crimes Against Journalists.
“The creation of an SITG on incidents like this is among the agreed protocols among the agencies within the PTFoMS,” Gutierrez said. “We also call on our colleagues in the media and the public not to resort to any speculation or make baseless accusations that can only distract our investigators on the true motive for the attack on Jamalon. Instead, we call on them to provide relevant and factual information that can hasten the resolution of this incident,” Gutierrez said
