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.

B | 함께 기소된 공무원들 선고유예 최윤홍 전 부산시교육청 부교육감. 국제신문 DB지난해 4·2 부산시교육감 재선거를 앞두고 교육청 공무원을 선거 준비에 동원한 혐의로 재판에 넘겨진 최윤홍 전 부산시교육청 부교육감이 항소심에서도 피선거권 상실에 해당하는 형을 받았다.부산고법 형사2부(부장판사 박운삼)는 26일 지방교육자치에 관한 법률 위반 등 혐의로 기소된 최 전 부교육감에 대한 검찰과 피고인 측 항소를 모두 기각했다. 이에 따라 1심이 선고한 징역 10개월에 집행유예 2년이 유지됐다.항소심 재판부는 최 전 부교육감이 2심에서 범행을 인정한 점을 고려하면서도 형을 낮출 사정은 되지 않는다고 판단했다. 재판부는 최 전 부교육감이 교육감 후보 출마 직전까지 교육감 권한대행으로 근무한 점을 이용해 선거에 필요한 자료를 확보했다고 지적했다. 오랜 기간 교육공무원으로 근무해 정치적 중립 의무와 그 중요성을 잘 알면서도 자신의 선거상 이익을 위해 범행한 점도 불리한 사정으로 봤다. 최 전 부교육감은 지난해 3월 재선거를 앞두고 교육청 공무원에게 선거운동 기획과 실시에 관여하도록 한 혐의로 기소됐다. 재판부는 함께 기소된 공무원 2명에 대해서는 양형이 무겁다는 주장을 받아들였다. 이들에게 내려진 1심의 징역 6개월에 집행유예 2년을 파기하고 각각 징역 6개월의 선고를 유예했다. 선고유예 뒤 2년이 지나면 형 선고의 효력이 사실상 사라진다.。
