Hired assassins taunt cops, gun down traffic enforcer

Monday, January 9, 2012
GENERAL SANTOS CITY — Barely 24 hours after a publisher of a local tabloid was gunned down in cold-blooded fashion on Thursday, hired assassins struck again.
This time gunmen riding in tandem mowed down a city traffic enforcer in a busy intersection along J. Catolico Street, this city.
Killed was Oliver Dayap who succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds while directing traffic along the busy street minutes before 7 p.m. Friday.
Dayap’s killing came just hours after several media organizations held a dialogue with Mayor Darlene Antonino Custodio and Police Regional Office-Soccsksargen director Chief Superintendent Benjardi Mantele over unsolved killings in the city.
On Thursday evening, publisher Christopher Guarin was gunned down by a still unidentified gunman while on his way home with his wife and daughter after his blocktime program in RMN’s dxMD station here.
Police investigators said they are still conducting investigations and pursuing leads in Guarin’s assassination.
Journalists here demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution of Guarin’s killers during the dialogue.
Among those who met with Custodio and Mantele were the National Union of Journalists in the Philippines chapter in the city, the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas, Tri-Media Association of General Santos, Publishers Association of General Santos City and the Soccsksargen Press Corps.
In their statement read by NUJP chapter president Edwin Espejo, the media organizations said they were “saddened by the growing reputation of General Santos City as the most dangerous place for journalist(s) in the country today with over 20 members of the press already killed since 1986, including 14 who perished in the Ampatuan massacre.
“We do not want to believe there is an ongoing campaign to eliminate us from our profession but until these heinous crimes are solved, we cannot help but be outraged,” the group said.
Custodio urged the city’s police forces to immediately arrest and prosecute Guarin’s killers.
She also said the City Government will set up reward money for information that will lead to the arrest of the gunman and the mastermind behind the killing of the 41-year-old Guarin, who was also former reporter of Bombo Radyo Gensan and later station manager of the defunct RGMA Super Radyo here.
Custodio declined to reveal the amount of reward money but said it will depend on the recommendation of the police authorities.
Mantele earlier said personal motive may be behind Guarin’s killing even as he assured local media here there is no organized campaign to eliminate members of the local press.
In a dialogue, however, the NUJP said it is not all about motives but the fact that journalists are being gunned down and becoming part of the growing statistics of extrajudicial killings should alarm and appall the people.
“We do not want to leave an impression that we journalists are a special lot. But if we are becoming part of the statistics of unsolved extrajudicial killings then who can the people turn to?” Espejo said the two-hour dialogue with local authorities at the city mayor’s conference room Friday afternoon.
Mantele later asked the media here to provide information that may help solve Guarin’s assassination.
Guarin’s killing came barely two months after the circulation manager of rival local tabloid was also gunned down by motorcycle-riding gunman.
Alfredo Velarde was about to collect the day’s edition of Brigada News for distribution when the gunman sneaked from behind his car and shot him several times.
He died on the spot. (Edwin Espejo)
