Dodie Nuñez
Shooting
Freelance photographer Dodie Nuñez was shot dead by three men who used a motorcycle to intercept the minibus in which he was riding in the town of General Mariano Alvarez, Cavite province.
Local media reports identified Nuñez as a photojournalist who worked mainly for the local newspaper Katapat. The paper is owned by Archie Gadang, who waged an unsuccessful campaign for provincial governor. The winner of last week’s gubernatorial election, Ireneo Maliksi, has filed a libel lawsuit against Gadang for publishing corruption allegations, the GMA News Web site reported.
