NPA condemns killing of NegOr broadcaster

From the Visayan Daily Star (May 5): NPA condemns killing of NegOr broadcaster

The Leonardo Panaligan Command of the New People’s Army issued a statement condemning the killing of radio anchorman Edmund Sestoso on April 30 in Dumagute City, Negros Oriental.

Rebel spokesman Ka JB Regalado called on the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office for a thorough investigation of the shooting incident.

Regalado said what happened to Sestoso and the physical assault against former Negros Press Club president Ranie Asue form part of the media repression under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.


Sestoso, an anchorman of DYGB-FM Power 91, succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds, after he was shot by a motorcycle-riding gunman.

A P400,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the gunman behind the death of Sestoso.

The Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office has created a Special Investigation Task Group to lead the investigation into the killing of Sestoso.
