THE Presidential Task Force on Media Security is investigating the killing of Remate columnist Joaquin “Jun” Briones in Milagros, Masbate.
“As with all cases involving journalists who are threatened, harmed or killed, we are presuming Jun’s case is work related. We have directed the formation of a Special Investigation Task Group through the PNP Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management,” said PTFoMS executive director Joel Sy Egco.
The PTFoMS chief said he immediately issued the directive to DIDM chief, Director Augusto Marquez and Task Force Usig acting head, Senior Supt. Eder Collantes. The Task Force is chaired by Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II.
