Nezavisne nevladine organizacije i novinari s Filipina oštro su osudili ovo ubistvo, a to je učinio i predsednik Rodrigo Duterte, koji je obećao da će ubice biti uhapšene.

Za vreme Dutertea i njegovih prethodnika ubijeno je ili napadnuto na desetine novinara.

“We were watching television when a shot rang at close range. I didn’t see the gunman because it was dark,” said Mila, the wife of Pampanga-based journalist Jesus “Jess” Malabanan who was shot dead on Wednesday.
