STATEMENT OF SENATOR MAR ROXAS ON THE KILLING OF
RMN-DYVR ANCHOR MARTIN ROXAS

"I strongly condemn the killing of radio commentator Martin Roxas of RMN-DYVR-Roxas City. A few hours ago, he was shot in the back while riding his motorcycle on his way home after his noontime program.

"I call on the police force of Roxas City to immediately get to the bottom of this case, and bring the perpetrators to justice. This is the first time such an atrocity against the media has happened in Roxas City.

"Such violence against the media in the line of duty and such an assault on decency, democracy and the rule of law has no room in Roxas City.

"To the widower and family of Martin Roxas, I am with you in your grief and in your quest for justice."
