No individual or group claimed responsibility for the shooting which occurred near the Plaza Independencia along M.J. Cuenco Avenue. The motives for the attack remain unknown.
The attack came a week after another journalist, Jesus Malabanan, was killed in his home in Calbayog City in Samar province.
The 58-year old Malabanan, who wrote for several newspapers in Manila, was fatally shot by motorcycle gunmen on the evening of December 8. Malabanan previously sought help from authorities after receiving death threats in Pampanga province that forced him to relocate to Calbayog. (Cebu Examiner)
