The suspects fled on a motorcycle after the shooting.Early this month, a photojournalist for a local newspaper in General Santos City was also shot dead by motorcycle-riding gunmen.International media watchdogs tagged the Philippines as one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists, with over a hundred media workers already murdered since democracy was restored in the country in 1986.The worst attack against Filipino journalists occurred in Nov. 23, 2009 when gunmen loyal to a powerful political clan kidnapped and killed over 50 people, including 33 journalists, in the province of Maguindanao.
