President Ferdinand &lsquo;Bongbong&rsquo; Marcos Jr. condemned the death of a radio broadcaster, who was brazenly shot in the midst of a radio program in the Municipality of Calamba, Misamis Occidental on Sunday morning, Nov. 5.
&ldquo;Mahigpit na kinokondena ng ating Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ang pagpatay sa broadcaster na si Juan Jumalon, o mas kilala bilang si &ldquo;Johnny Walker&rdquo; nitong Linggo ng umaga,&rdquo; the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said in a statement posted on its official Facebook page.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Ang ganitong walang kabihasnang pag-atake sa ating mamamahayag ay walang lugar sa isang demokratikong bansa,&rdquo; it added.&nbsp;
The PCO said the President extended his sincere condolence to the loved ones of Johnny Walker.&nbsp;
The communications office said Marcos directed the Philippine National Police (PNP) to conduct an in-depth probe into the crime to catch the preparator and hold him accountable.
&ldquo;Makakaasa kayo ng aming masusing pagtutok upang mabigyan ng hustisya ang kanyang pagpaslang,&rdquo; it assured the public.&nbsp;
