PRESIDENTIAL Task Force on Media Security Executive Director and Undersecretary Joel Sy Egco is leading an investigation of the killing of Catanduanes newspaper publisher Larry Que.

“I am personally seeing to it that the investigation of this killing moves forward faster as we are treating this case as the first killing of a journalist under [President Rodrigo Duterte’s] term. Being a journalist myself, Que’s killing could cause a chilling effect among journalists who are on a mission to expose crime and corruption,” Egco said on Wednesday.
