A radio anchor in the Philippines has been shot dead while performing a live broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juan Jumalon, known as DJ Johnny Walker, was shot inside his home-based studio, police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Marcos Jr condemned the murder of the radio journalist “in the strongest terms”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four journalists have been killed since Mr Marcos Jr took office in June of 2022, the National Union of Journalists in the Philippines said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The attack is even more condemnable since it happened at Jumalon’s own home, which also served as the radio station,” the union said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Jumalon was live-streaming on Facebook at around 05:30 local time when the suspect entered the recording booth and shot him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to local media, citing police sources, the suspect asked permission to enter Mr Jumalon’s radio booth to announce “something important on air.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say they have already secured CCTV footage in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Jumalon’s broadcasts are usually aired on 94.7 Gold Mega Calamba FM Facebook page, which has around 2,400 followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DJ’s wife took him to hospital immediately after the incident, but it is understood doctors pronounced him dead upon arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police said they were not aware of any previous threats against his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president posted on X that he has instructed the police to conduct “a thorough investigation to swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Philippines is one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists, says<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US-based Freedom House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
