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.
UNI/SPUTNIK GNK。 视频加载中...【宅男财经｜专家面对面】1月8日，国家发展改革委副主任赵辰昕在国务院政策例行吹风会上表示，今年将符合条件的国四排放标准燃油车纳入报废更新补贴范围，统一规范全国汽车置换更新最高补贴限额。国四排放标准实施首年的燃油车，包括2012年6月30日前登记的汽油车、2014年6月30日前登记的柴油及其他燃料车。什么是国四排放标准？中国汽车流通协会专家委员会委员章弘解释称，国四排放标准是国家第四阶段机动车污染物排放标准，该标准主要使用了冷却的排气再循环的装置，让气体在催化转化器的活性层过程中，使一氧化碳、碳氢化合物和微粒等污染物减少排放。章弘表示，我国整个乘用车的保有量达到了3.4亿辆左右，能够达到国四排放标准的车有数以千万辆计，这些车迄今为止都没有包含在以旧换新补贴的范围里。“这次以旧换新的政策把这些车纳入范围，拥有这些车的消费者会考虑踊跃购买新车，会给汽车消费带来很大的促进作用。”(责任编辑 董湘依 制作 郑铮 宅男财经出品)。
