A popular journalist who survived a 2016 assassination attempt has been shot to death in front of his house in the northern Philippines.
Police report says Virgilio Maganes, 62, was about to enter his house in the town of Villasis when two suspects shot him six times.
The police added that he died on the spot adding that no suspects or motive have been identified.
The National Union of Journalists in the Philippines (NUJP) said Maganes was the 18th journalist to be killed since President Rodrigo Duterte took office in 2016.
The NUJP said he survived an assassination attempt in November 2016 “by playing dead’’ when gunmen riding a motorcycle shot him.
