MANILA, Philippines — The National Press Club of the Philippines (NPC) on Sunday called for the ‘immediate resolution’ of the death of a freelance account executive and journalist who was shot dead in Quezon City. Account executive Adam Moraleta, who is a member of the NPC, was gunned down by still unidentified men riding a motorcycle along Marcelino Street in Barangay (village) Holy Spirit on June 6. According to NPC, Moraleta went outside their residence to buy something at the store when the suspects approached him and shot him at close range. “Thus, his killing comes both as a shock and a surprise for its seeming lack of compelling reason,” the NPC added. “Whatever is the motive behind his killing, the NPC is calling on the authorities, specifically, the Presidential Task Force on Media Security, for the immediate resolution of Moraleta’s case.
