A suspect in the murder of a veteran radio journalist in the Philippines has surrendered to authorities citing “fear for his personal safety” after his photo was released and a reward “placed on his head”, state media reported.
Radio personality Percival Mabasa, 63, who went by the name “Percy Lapid” in his show, was shot dead in a Manila suburb on October 3 as he drove to his studio. He was the second journalist to be killed since President Ferdinand Marcos Jr took office in June.
