GENERAL SANTOS CITY: Fearing that more attacks would be launched against them, media practitioners here have started to arm themselves following the murder of local tabloid publisher Christopher Guarin earlier this month. | |||
At least 11 shooting incidents this month and the reported presence of an assassin tasked to kill 10 journalists have compelled members of the media to take up arms as they fear that the local police may not be able to protect them. | |||
Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio of General Santos City has directed Chief Supt. Benjardi Mantele, director of Police Regional Office 12, to investigate reports that a gun-for-hire group—its members reportedly come from the cities of Cagayan de Oro in Misamis Oriental province and Tagum in Davao del Norte province—are in the city to kill more media practitioners. | |||
Ronald Mascardo, publisher of the local weekly tabloid Balita, disclosed that he had been receiving death threats after Guarin was killed. | |||
According to him, he has received text messages warning him that he would be next. | |||
Custodio has urged members of the media to be vigilant and coordinate with the police if they believe that the threats against them are serious, but some of them have opted to buy guns for their protection. | |||
