Edison Flamenia Sr.
Shooting
A Filipino journalist, Edison Flamenia Sr, was shot dead in an attack in the troubled southern region of Mindanao as he was walking home in the village of Tabudok in Labangan town.
Flamenia was writing for the Mindanao Inquirer. The motive is still unknown and his family has appealed to authorities to search and arrest the killer. Dozens of journalists had been killed in the Philippines in recent years and international media organizations branded the country as one of the world’s most dangerous places for journalists.
