A MEDIAMAN on Saturday was stabbed dead in Bgy. Sta. Cruz, Surigao del Sur.
Slain was Gerry Campos, a broadcaster-turned-municipal councilor in Marihatag, Surigao del Sur.
He was stabbed dead while walking near a gasoline station in Bgy. Sta. Cruz on Saturday morning.
A 42-year-old suspect was arrested by the police on the same day.
The Kapisanan ng mga Broadcaster sa Pilipinas’ (KBP) chapter in Butuan City condemned the killing of Campos as it called on authorities to pursue a thorough and impartial investigation.
“We are deeply saddened and outraged by this senseless act of violence. Gerry’s untimely death is not only a tragic loss to his family and friends but also to the media community and the public he served with dedication,” the KBP-Butuan City Chapter said in a statement Saturday night.
Before winning a Sangguniang Bayan (SB) seat in Marihatag in this year’s midterm elections, Campos served as a director of Radio Mindanao Network in Butuan City and was manager of Radyo Serbato in the same city.
