MANILA, Philippines – Police have formed a task force to investigate the killing of print and broadcast journalist Christopher Guarin in General Santos City. | |||
Initial investigations showed that a personal grudge may have been the motive behind the killing. | |||
Freddie Solinap, a co-host of Guarin in his radio program, told the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) that the slain media worker received a text message carrying the threat on January 5. | |||
Guarin read the threat on air, which went, "Wag kang lumabas [ng istasyon], papatayin kita (Do not get out of the station, I will kill you)." | |||
Guarin was driving home with his family when he was ambushed by motorcycle riding gunmen Thursday night. | |||
He was rushed to the General Santos City Hospital but doctors declared him dead on arrival. | |||
His wife was grazed in the arm by a bullet while his daughter was unharmed. | |||
Guarin was former manager of the defunct dxBB RGMA Super Radyo General Santos and a former commentator at dyWB Bombo Radyo General Santos. | |||
He is the first media practitioner killed in 2012 and the 10th under the current administration, according to Rowena Paraan, executive coordinator of the NUJP-International Federation of Journalists Media Safety Office. | |||
Guarin's death brought to 150 the number of journalists killed in the Philippines since 1986, Paraan added. -- With a report from ANC | |||
