A RADIOMAN was killed on the morning of Tuesday, November 10, 2020 in front of his home in Villasis in Pangasinan.
In a report, the Pangasinan Provincial Police Directorate identified the victim as Virgilio Maganes, 62, a radio host for the radio station dwPR.
Police said Maganes was about to enter his residential complex at Sitio Licsab in Barangay San Blas around 6:45 am when unidentified men approached him and shot him six times. He died instantly.
Maganes survived an ambush in November 2016 after pretending to be killed when gunmen riding a motorcycle shot him while getting on a tricycle.
A sign was left near him that read: “Drug dealer, huwag pamarisan.”
The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) said the signage was an attempt to divert attention from the real motive for the ambush.
The group criticized the Maganes massacre. He was the eighteenth journalist assassinated during the Duterte administration and the 190th since 1986. (SunStar Philippines)
