In Oriental Mindoro, a radio broadcaster was shot by unidentified suspects
ORIENTAL MINDORO – A radio broadcaster named Cresenciano Bunduquin, aged 50, was fatally shot in Calapan City in the early hours of Wednesday.
According to the Philippine National Police (PNP), the incident occurred at 4:20 a.m. and involved two unidentified assailants who quickly fled the scene. The PNP has initiated a hot pursuit operation to apprehend the suspects.
To address the incident, the PNP will establish a Special Investigation Task Group, led by Police Brigadier Redrico Maranan, to conduct a thorough investigation. The PNP chief, Police General Benjamin Acorda Jr., has instructed the Police Regional Office 4B and Calapan City Police Station to expedite the investigation and identify the perpetrators. Maranan emphasized the need for gathering evidence and testimonies promptly.
As part of the investigation, the PNP is in contact with Bunduquin’s family and colleagues to gather relevant information. While Bunduquin’s work as a media representative involves discussing critical issues, Maranan stated that they cannot conclusively determine if the motive behind the shooting is work-related at this time. All possible angles are being explored.
Maranan, who also serves as a chief focal person for the Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFoMS), assured the media industry that the PNP prioritizes the security of those working in the field. The PNP Media Vanguards will oversee the investigation process to ensure a thorough examination of the incident.
