President Marcos has assured the family of slain Misamis Occidental broadcaster Juan Jumalon, known as DJ Johnny Walker, that law enforcement agencies are exerting all efforts to capture the assailants.

- HELEN FLORES

The Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFoMS) led by Undersecretary Paul Gutierrez visited the wake of Jumalon in Calamba town on Saturday and conveyed Marcos’ condolences to the family.

Jumalon was buried yesterday in a cemetery in Polanco, Zamboanga del Norte.

Gutierrez also turned over financial assistance amounting to P350,000 to Jumalon’s wife Joreebel, and children Stephen Kyle and Kyla.

The financial assistance came from Marcos and Speaker Martin Romualdez.

The Speaker has condemned the killing.

“No matter what the motive is behind this killing, the Philippine media lost another one of its members. We don’t want this to keep on happening,” Romualdez said.
