DIGOS CITY – Unidentified suspects fired at the house of a radio political commentator here early Friday but no one was injured.
Marland Malnegro of Gold FM told police investigators that they were awakened by a “loud bang” past 1 a.m. When they checked, they saw the glass panel in one of their house’s windows shattered.
“We thought somebody just threw a stone or something that broke (the window’s glass). We immediately informed the police about the incident and they quickly responded,” Malnegro, a resident of Paradise Subdivision in Barangay Tres de Mayo, said.
At least four empty shells were found outside Malnegro’s house while four deformed slugs were also found inside his house.
Malnegro said it was apparent that the incident was the result of his being a radio political commentator but added that he won’t be cowed by any act of intimidation.
“I am just doing my job as a journalist. It is an act of cowardice aimed to stop me from disclosing wrongdoings,” Malnegro said. CDG/rga
