THE POLICE and agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) are now hunting for Dante Tabosares, the alleged mastermind in the killing of Kidapawan City radio journalist Eduardo Dizon in July last year. A warrant for his arrest has been issued by Judge Henelinda Molina-Diaz of the Kidapawan Regional Trial Court Branch 61, according to the Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFoMS). “Tabosares tried to further delay the issuance of a warrant for his arrest with his pleadings before the court. Delays are expected but, ultimately, justice will prevail,” Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Martin M. Andanar, co-chair of PTFoMS, said in a statement on Sunday. One of two other suspects, Sotero Jacolbe Jr., surrendered to authorities last year after an arrest warrant was issued on Sept. 30. The third suspect, Junell Poten, alias Junell Gerozaga, remains at-large. Mr. Dizon was killed in an ambush on July 10, 2019. He was a news anchor of Brigada News-Kidapawan City until 2018 and ran for councilor in the municipality of Makilala, North Cotabato in 2019 but lost.
