Unidentified assailants shot and killed a radio journalist in southern Philippines late on Monday, police said on Tuesday. Jessie Camangyan, 52, was hosting an amateur singing contest in Macopa village in Manay town, in Mindanao's Davao Oriental province when attacked at around 10:30 p.m., Senior Inspector Ariel Nueva, Manay town police, said. Camangyan, a resident of nearby Mati City was invited by an official for the village fiesta, when a lone assailant shot him in the back of the head while he was resting at a makeshift stage, Joanna Mabini, head of a media organization in Mati City told Xinhua by phone. Mabini said the victim has been with the local broadcast industry for almost 20 years and was known for hitting politicians allegedly involved in illegal logging in Manay. He was a blocktimer for several local radio stations in Mati and shortly before his death, Camangyan had a program for Sunrise FM. 'The local media organization was saddened by his tragic death. We will be meeting today to plan our show of support for him,' Mabini said. Camangyan was the latest journalist to be killed in the Philippines in 2010. The committee to Protect Journalists, a worldwide media watchdog, early this month called on incoming President Benigno Aquino III to look into the spate of media killings in a country considered among the world's most dangerous places for media workers. On Nov. 23, 2009, 32 journalists were killed when 100 gunmen belonging to a Muslim warlord massacred the convoys of his political rival in the country's south.
