Incidents
The radio station was attacked with a grenade in June 2013 during a broadcast by one of its commentators, Joas Dignos.[3] Dignos was shot and killed in November 2013 in Valencia.[4][5] Local police investigating the case did not rule out the possibility that the Dignos was targeted for his political commentary.[6] According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, the incident is part of a pattern of killings that have earned the Philippines a reputation as "one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a reporter".[7]
