Dinoy was a reporter for Davao City-based online media outlet Newsline Philippines and a volunteer anchor for Energy FM in Digos City. On Sunday, Philippine National Police chief Gen. Guillermo Eleazar directed the Davao region police director, Brig Gen. Filmore Escobal, to lead the investigation into the killing. Edith Caduaya of Newsline Philippines condemned the killing and vowed never to stop until justice was served. Eleazar said the PNP would closely coordinate with the Presidential Task Force on Media Security on the killing of Dinoy and other cases regarding the murder or harassment of media practitioners. Radio commentator and local paper writer Maganes and freelance journalist Villamor were killed within days of each other in November 2020.
