LOCAL mediamen urged authorities to continue its investigation of the Dennis Cuesta slay case.
This call was made Wednesday afternoon during the candle lighting ceremony at the Freedom Park in commemoration of the "National Day of Mourning for Slain Journalists."
Cuesta was the seventh broadcaster killed in General Santos City since 1986 and seventh among slain Radio Mindanao Network broadcasters.
He was also the 5th slain mediaman for this year and the 60th during the Arroyo administration.
A covenant was signed by mediamen calling for justice, not only for the slain mediamen, but also for other journalists killed in the exercise of their functions.
"We hope that the recent killing of our colleague will not just be part of the increasing statistics," the joint statement said. (GLP)
