JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla directed the National Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday to conduct its own investigation into the ambush-slay of hard-hitting radio broadcaster Percival Mabasa, also known by his radio name as Percy Lapid, on Monday night.
The 63-year-old Mabasa was inside his vehicle when he was shot dead along Aria Street, Barangay Talon Dos at around 8:30 p.m. Azurin said the PNP is coordinating with the family of Mabasa and his colleagues in its effort to solve the case, which he said could not be declared yet as work-related. Mabasa is the second journalist killed under the administration of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr., according to the NUJP.“We condole with Lapid’s family including his brother and veteran journalist Roy Mabasa. We call on the public to join us in condemning yet another murder of a journalist. We call on the Philippine National Police to hold the perpetrators accountable,” the group said.
The senator added, “Even as I offer my sincere sympathy to the family and loved ones of Percy, I call on our authorities to apprehend the perpetrators and solve this dastardly crime as soon as possible. I join our people’s calls for justice for Percy, and for the proper punishment against those behind this revolting incident.”The labor coalition Nagkaisa and Kilusang Mayo Uno also condemned the attacks against mediamen.
