The Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFOMS) has condemned the killing of Nestor Micator, a radio broadcaster in Malidegao, located in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). Micator, also known as Teting, was shot by an unidentified assailant on Thursday evening as he was preparing to board his motorcycle outside the barangay hall, accompanied by his wife. Following the attack, the suspect fled the scene with an accomplice. PTFOMS executive director Jose Torres expressed deep condolences to Micator's family and colleagues, highlighting that such violence against journalists undermines press freedom and the public's right to information. He stated that the authorities are investigating the motive behind the attack, including whether it was linked to Micator's work or his role in the local community. Torres urged investigators to explore all possible angles and ensure that those responsible are swiftly brought to justice. He reaffirmed PTFOMS's commitment to enhancing the safety and security of media workers across the country.
