00:00 a broadcaster was shot dead in the middle of his live program inside his radio booth, which is also inside his house.

00:08 Here is the report.

00:10 At 5.30 in the morning,

00:16 the broadcaster, Juan Humalon, was on his radio program.

00:20 He is also known as DJ Johnny Walker.

00:23 The program was live-streamed on 94.7 Gould FM from his radio booth, which is also inside his house in Calamba, Misamis Occidental.

00:33 He was suddenly seen at the door of the booth,

00:36 accompanied by a man wearing a blue T-shirt and a cap, and a gun.

00:42 He was suddenly shot by the broadcaster.

00:45 Humalon jumped on his chair.

00:47 The gunman approached him and stabbed him in the back before he ran away.

00:53 A CCTV footage was taken before the incident.

00:57 The gunman entered the broadcaster's gate in a hurry,

01:01 accompanied by another man.

01:03 Humalon shot a man with a gun twice,

01:07 who was just watching and covered his head in fear.

01:10 The gunman entered the radio booth.

01:13 After the shooting, the two men ran out of the gate.

01:17 Humalon was immediately brought by his family to Calamba District Hospital,

01:21 but he was also declared dead on arrival

01:24 because of the bullet that hit his head from the back.

01:28 Based on the first investigation,

01:30 the gunmen assumed that there was something important to be announced on the radio,

01:34 so they opened the gate with the victim.

01:37 The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines immediately condemned the crime.

01:43 In one statement, the group said that the shooting was more than a coincidence,

01:46 especially when it happened in the broadcaster's house.

01:50 At the same time, it was the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists,

01:56 which was called by the Presidential Task Force on Media Security

02:00 to the PNP, which immediately formed a Special Investigation Task Group

02:04 to investigate the case.

02:06 The gunmen were also aware of the situation.

02:09 Checkpoints were also set up at Calamba Municipal Police Station

02:13 and a drag night operation was underway to catch the gunmen.
