Sen Poe's Take on the Shooting of Newsman Maganes

BY Senator Grace Poe

Tigilan na ang pananambang sa ating mga mamamahayag. Ang pag-atake sa kanila at sa kanilang kaligtasan ay pagsiil sa kalayaan sa pamamahayag. 

Pangasinan columnist and radio commentator Vir Maganes

Nananawagan tayo sa Philippine National Police na magsagawa ng agaran at masinsing imbestigasyon sa pamamaril kay Virgilio Maganes, isang kolumnista at radio commentator mula sa Pangasinan. Ang mga mamamahayag ay kakampi natin sa pagpapalabas ng katotohanan. Huwag natin silang patahimikin.

English:

Let us stop the violence against our journalists. The attacks against them and their safety are curtailment of their freedom of expression. We appeal to the Philippine National Police to conduct an immediate and thorough investigation on the shooting of Virgilio Maganes, a newspaper columnist and radio commentator based in Pangasinan. Our journalists are our partners in upholding the truth. Let us not silence them.
