Journalist shot dead in the Philippines

CEBU CITY, Philippines, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- A radio journalist who criticized official corruption has been shot and killed by a lone gunman at a market in central Philippines.

George Benaojan, 27, was shot while talking to a man in front of a store in Cebu City Thursday night, local news media reported. He was shot at least three times with a .45-caliber pistol, and died from his wounds in the hospital around midnight.

Benaojan is the 10th reporter killed in the Philippines this year. Last month a reporter for the local tabloid Katapat, Roberto Ramos, was shot in the head near Manila. Police arrested two brothers who allegedly killed the reporter after he revealed that they were selling pirated DVDs.

The majority of media homicides in the Philippines remain unsolved. Most are believed to be retaliation for criticism of officials, politicians, police and military figures.

Dumbfounded.

4. Arroyo was caught on audio tape bribing election officials

and when things got too hot for her and her equally corrupt husband, she sent him packing to the US to avoid the Filipino press.

Arroyo and Bush have a penchant for killing troublesome journalists!

5. That's not true from what I hear

If you are referencing the tapes about the election, the source has come forward of late and said that there was no election fraud. The source of the tapes has been in hiding in Mindinao.
