The Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFoMS) condemns the reported shooting of radio broadcaster Jay Lavapiez in Barangay Cagay, Roxas City, Capiz. According to reports, Lavapiez was driving along a national highway around 5 a.m. on his way to his radio station when unidentified suspects allegedly opened fire on his vehicle. Lavapiez survived the attack. Authorities recovered four spent shell casings at the scene. Police investigators are also widening the probe, including reviewing available closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage from the area. Police said the footage may show two individuals riding a motorcycle, with one believed to have fired at Lavapiez’s vehicle and the other serving as a rider. PTFoMS states it condemns acts of violence and intimidation against journalists and says such actions have no place in a democratic society. The police investigation is ongoing as authorities work to identify the suspects and determine possible motives.
