A | Manila, Oct 19 (UNI) The Philippine authorities have presented to journalists the alleged killer of radio broadcaster Percy Lapid, shot dead in early October, media reports said on Wednesday.
According to the Philippine news portal Philstar, 39-year-old suspect Joel Escorial from the Philippine Quezon City voluntarily surrendered to police on Tuesday.
Escorial told reporters that he had surrendered to the police out of guilt after the authorities published his photos taken by surveillance cameras.
"Someone who knew a police officer helped me. That is where I was brought to. I was made to surrender there," the suspect said as quoted by the news portal.
Escorial also named three other people who are also supposedly behind Lapid's murder, namely siblings Edmon Dimaculangan and Israel Dimaculangan, as well as Alias Orly (Orlando). The suspect said that the order for the murder came from the New Bilibid prison in the Philippine city of Muntinlupa.
"Whoever comes adjacent to Percy, he will be the one to shoot. It just so happens I came close to him. He told us that if I do not shoot, I will be killed. That is why I shot Percy," Escorial added.
The police and journalist Roy Mabasa, brother of the slain radio broadcaster, filed a murder complaint against Escorial and his three accomplice with the justice ministry, the report said.
According to Escorial, he received 140,000 pesos ($2,373) to his bank account out of promised 500,000 Philippine pesos for a group of six people, according to the report.
The suspect also asked for forgiveness from the family of the murdered journalist.
On October 3, Philippine radio broadcaster Percival Mabasa, better known under pseudonym Percy Lapid, who had long been criticizing the country's authorities, was shot and killed outside his house in the city of Las Pinas. The National Union of Philippine Journalists condemned the murder, blaming the government for failure to protect the population.
Lapid became the second journalist killed in the Philippines since the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. came to power in May. On September 18, another radio journalist, Renato "Rey" Blanco, was stabbed to death in the town of Mabinay.
