"We don’t know him," Jeffrey Jubelag, president of the Philippine National Police-Region 12 press corps, said of the victim, Rolando Morales.
Jubelag said they were surprised to learn that the national dailies identified Morales as a radio broadcaster when he was just a "blocktimer" — who bought airtime for a program — of dxMD, a General Santos radio station owned by the Radio Mindanao Network.
Jubelag, city editor of the Mindanao Bulletin weekly, said Morales was an "inspector" of a pineapple firm in Polomolok, South Cotabato.
He said they were unsure if the Barangay Anti-Crime Task Force, of which Morales was the spokesman, was the one which paid for the airtime of the one-hour Tingog sa Barangay program which he co-hosted. — Ramil Bajo, Cecille Suerte Felipe and Cesar Ramirez
