Another Pagadian radioman slain

ZAMBOANGA CITY — Still unidentified men gunned down a radio commentator in Pagadian City last Saturday afternoon, the second broadcaster slain there in two years.

Police said Mohammad Yusop of dxID AM of the Islamic Broadcasting System was on board a tricycle when two motorcycle-riding men trailed and shot him in the back of the head with a caliber .45 pistol.

The killing of the other radioman, Jun Halapit of the Radio Mindanao Network, remains unsolved.

Both radiomen were known to be among the few hard-hitting commentators in Pagadian City.

The local chapter of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas condemned Yusop’s murder. — Roel Pareño
