DAVAO DEL Norte 1st District Rep. Antonio R. Floirendo Jr. called on authorities to immediately resolve the murder of local newspaper publisher Dennis Wilfredo D. Denora, who was shot in Panabo City by motorcycle-riding men last June 7. “The killers behind the ambush must promptly be arrested and the brains behind the crime be identified,” Mr. Floirendo said in a statement released Sunday night. The congressman, who had known the victim for 30 years, said, “I can vouch for his decency, integrity and strong commitment to seek the journalistic truth.” Investigators have yet to come up with the motive of the murder as well as the identities of those behind it. In a statement last Thursday, the Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFoMS) said it has already directed the top provincial and regional police officers “to leave no stone unturned in the conduct of their investigation.” — Carmelito Q.
