A radio anchor was fatally shot by a man inside his southern Philippine station in an attack that was witnessed by people watching the programme live on Facebook. The gunman gained entry into the home-based radio station of provincial news broadcaster Juan Jumalon by pretending to be a listener on Sunday. He then shot him twice during a live morning broadcast in Calamba town in Misamis Occidental province, police said. The Philippines has long been regarded as one of the most dangerous places for journalists in the world. "The attack is even more condemnable since it happened at Jumalon’s own home, which also served as the radio station,” the watchdog said.
