Journalists take it to the streets; denounce media killings
Journalists in Ilocos Norte took to the streets of Laoag City last June 23 to denounce media killings, the most recent of which was a ruthless ambush of DZJC - Laoag radio commentator Lito Agustin. Two others from the province have also been slain because of their profession. Roger Mariano and Andy Acosta, both radio broadcasters, were murdered in 2004 and 2006 respectively.
The protesters also hit hard the Philippine Red Cross office in Laoag City. Their blood bank was inconveniently closed when Agustin was in need of a blood transfusion that could have saved his life. He died several hours later, after being shot while on his way home to Bacarra on the evening of June 15.
