Pamamaslang sa Mamamahayag ng Albay, Kinondena ng NPC; Humihiling ng Mabilis na Pag-usig

Mariing kinondena ng National Press Club of the Philippines (NPC) ang walang-awang pagbaril kay Noel Bellen Samar, isang lokal na mamamahayag mula sa Kadunong ITV at DWIZ, nitong umaga ng Oktubre 20, 2025, sa kahabaan ng Maharlika Highway sa Barangay Morera, bayan ng Guinobatan.

Ayon sa mga paunang ulat, si Samar, 54 taong gulang, ay nakarating ng isang bala at agad na dinala sa Bicol Regional Training and Teaching Hospital (BRTTH) sa Lungsod ng Legazpi kung saan siya kasalukuyang sumasailalim ng medikal na paggamot. Ang motibo sa likod ng pag-atake ay patuloy na pinag-iimbestigahan.

Pinuri ng NPC ang mabilis na aksyon ng Police Regional Office 5 (PRO5) at ng Albay Police Provincial Office na nagsimula na ng “hot pursuit operation” at bumuo ng Special Investigation Task Group (SITG “Samar”) upang matiyak ang masusing pagsisiyasat sa insidente.

Nananawagan ang NPC sa Philippine National Police (PNP), lalo na kay PBGEN Nestor C. Babagay Jr., Regional Director ng PRO5, na gawin ang lahat ng makakaya upang matukoy, mahuli, at maaresto ang salarin sa lalong madaling panahon. Iminungkahi rin ng Kapisanan na alamin ng mga awtoridad kung ang pag-atake ay may kinalaman sa propesyon ng biktima bilang mamamahayag.

“Nakikisama at nakikidalamhati ang NPC sa aming kasamang si Noel Samar, sa kanyang pamilya, at sa buong komunidad ng pamamahayag sa Bicol. Aming hinahamak ang duwag na akto ng karahasan laban sa isang miyembro ng pamahayagan,” pahayag ni NPC President Leonel Abasola.

Inulit ng National Press Club na walang puwang ang karahasan at pananakot sa isang demokratikong lipunan. Dapat bigyang-daan ang mga mamamahayag na gampanan ang kanilang tungkulin nang malaya at ligtas, nang walang takot sa pananaghili o pinsala.

“Nananawagan kami sa pamahalaan, mga ahensya ng batas, at sa aming mga kapwa mamamahayag na magkaisa upang matiyak na makamit ang katarungan sa pinakamadaling panahon. Bawat atake sa isang mamamahayag ay isang atake sa kalayaan ng pamamahayag mismo,” dagdag ni Abasola.#
