Rolando Morales
Shooting
Rolando Morales was riding a motorcycle in Polomolok town in South Cotabato province late Sunday when gunmen stopped him and opened fire with pistols and assault rifles, killing him instantly and wounding his companion, Chief Superintendent Danilo Mangila said.
After he fell on the ground, the gunmen shot him again to make sure he was dead. His companion was taken to a hospital, Mangila said. The gang-style attack happened shortly after Morales left Radio dxMD, where he had built a reputation as a commentator who had hit hard local politicians linked to drug syndicates, he said.
