NUJP stated that “This assassination indicates that journalism always remains a tough, dangerous and life risky in this nation. That the lethal incident has happened in Metro Manila shows how impudent the offenders are and how authorities have been unsuccessful to safeguard reporters as well as ordinary residents from this type of incident and harm.” It is quite sad to hear the death news of a journalist who dares to question the government. Despite of living in a democratic country it is not easy to have freedom of speech. Leni Robredo the ex-Vice President shared her sympathies with the family of the deceased. Robredo states that “His, courage, voice and vision are greatly missed at a time when we are facing blatant deception of the individuals.”
