Palace condemns killing of Surigao del Sur broadcaster

Malacanang condemned the killing of a Surigao del Sur broadcaster saying a police task force was already created to hunt down the perpetrators.
“Kinokondena po namin ang pagpaslang kay Ginoong Michael Milo, isang broadcaster ng Prime Radio FM sa Tandag City Surigao del Sur kahapon,” Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said in a radio interview Sunday over dzRB Radyo ng Bayan.
Coloma said Surigao del Sur police is currently pursuing the killers of Milo and a special investigation task group was created by the PNP for the immediate conclusion of the case.
“Napag-utusan na po ang PNP na gawin ang lahat ng nararapat para po matugis, mahuli at mapanagot ang mga pumaslang kay Ginoong Milo,” he said.
At least three motorcycle-riding men gunned down Milo, the latest media killing in the past few weeks. The report said Milo was heading home aboard a motorcycle when the three motorcycle-riding men shot him.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital but doctors were not able to save him.
The killing of Milo came about two weeks after radio dxGT blocktimer Joas Dignos of Radyo Abante was gunned down in Valencia City in Bukidnon last November 29. [PCOO News Release]
