AN announcer of a government
radio station was killed by a lone gunman in a village in Tawi-Tawi
Monday, police said.
His two companions were wounded
in the attack that took place in Barangay Nalil, Bongao town,
reports reaching Camp Crame said.
Chief Supt. Joel Goltiao, police
director of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, identified the
fatality as Vicente Sumalpong, an announcer of Radyo ng Bayan.
Goltiao said Sumalpong was shot
several times. His companions, Dima Antam and a certain Joel, were
also hit.
The three were riding a
motorcycle on their way to work when they were fired at.
The police chief said the motive
had not been determined, but noted that Sumalpong was not what would
be considered a hard-hitting announcer.
Another police official said one
of the angles being eyed by investigators is internal problems in
the radio station where Sumalpong was working.
