Journalist Who Criticized Marcos Is Fatally Shot in the PhilippinesThe radio host Percival Mabasa was killed during an ambush, the police said.(In fact, Ferdinand E. Marcos was a dictator who tortured and jailed opponents and was accused of looting as much as $10 billion from the government.)In recent weeks, Mr. Mabasa had criticized the current Marcos government for what he said was corruption involving anomalies in sugar imports through a state agency.The victim’s brother, Roy Mabasa, a fellow journalist and a former president of the National Press Club, said in an interview on Tuesday that there was no lead in the murder because police officers were still gathering CCTV footage, including from the cameras that his brother had mounted on his car.Former Vice President Leni Robredo, who ran unsuccessfully against Mr. Marcos in the recent presidential election, called Mr. Mabasa’s death a “huge loss at a time we are up against brazen lies spread in public.” While she did not elaborate, experts have attributed Ms. Robredo’s loss partly to fake news spread by her political opponents through social media."
